David Bollier is pleased at the opening of the BBC's creative archive.
"Ah, but what about “piracy”? How’s this for a refreshing response by the BBC: “If we had started at the policing end we'd never have gotten anywhere with this. Where you've got to start from is, how do we make more content available? I believe this can be a win-win. UK license-fee payers get more access to our content, and having it out there also stimulates various commercial sales markets. I don't believe one has to detrimentally affect the other.”
There is a lot of momentum growing behind business models based on open-platform sharing. When will the powers that be recognize that the intellectual property/piracy dichotomy misses the point -- and begin to understand the new paradigm?"
