Apple & the Pirate Everyman
Quote: "In every area, Apple has pushed away from proprietary software technologies and restrictions and moved towards the creativity, interdependance and freedoms of open standards. Apple has tried - wherever possible - to live by the adage that information wants to be free. It's decided not to fight this aspect of information but instead encourage it, help it to be free. And in fact try to make it as free as possible..."
Comment: The current furor over free information/resources (news, videos, songs, content) is between two camps - those who are trying to bend the Internet for revenue generation (corporations)...and those who feel everything should be free (consumers). Apple has taken the unusual position of being a corporation that's trying to generate revenue from giving consumers what they want. Why is no one else getting this message?
