The sharing economy / Joi Ito edit

• Innovation and the Internet
  • "The Stupid Network" - David Isenberg
  • "Small pieces loosely joined" - David Weinberger
  • Clay Shirky - the cost of failure is very small - important for innovation
• Professional vs. Amateur / The idea that Amateur is lower quality should be challenged
• Many people equate intelligence with money / of course many of us are motivated by things other than money. Pleasure and Happiness are different. There is a certain kind of happiness that comes from giving/receiving, sharing and being an active participant in a community. Money can buy pleasure, but you can't buy love/happiness.
• "Pirates" - "you're sharing on the Internet, you must be a pirate". Pirates or Fans?
• "Remix" - stifling free speech in video
• "Copyright" - unregulated, fair use / In the digital world, every time you use something, you make a "copy", so the old rules are harder to apply.
• Law+technology = DRM
• Technology has allowed a lot of "control" / creep from commercial businesses to apply control that technology affords us back into the real world
• Copyright / all rights reserved vs. no rights reserved vs. some rights reserved Creative Commons
• Creative Commons, like OpenSource for content, also a user interface for copyright

• Integration
• Internet - a movement or a tool?
• Free culture and creative commons should apply to everything
• Community on WOW
• Sharing is important, we should work to enlighten the rest of the world
• Evan on professional vs amateur, what about professionals who make a living in the free open space?
