It may be a nice innovative business model that lets the small guy get paid more directly, but it is far from OPEN or FREE. if Open has anything like the sense it has in 'The Open Source Definition' ( http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php ) and Free has anything like the sense it has in 'The Free Software Definition' ( http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html ) If we don't grok this, we are gonna end up right back where we started from. I mean, in theory, a publically traded corporation is a way to spread the wealth to the little guy. It may be, but it is hardly Open Business as practiced. all the best, drew http://www.ourmedia.org/node/262954 Sayings - Deterred Bahamain Novel (due to be finished by Nov 30) CC Attribution-ShareAlike License “When you upload to Revver, your video gets protected under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 license.”
