One nice thing of the internet is that it forces openness and rewards it.
If some site goes behind a paywall, what it really does is to remove itself from the internet, giving more visibility opportunities to people who want primarily to communicate and share ideas, instead of strategically monetizing content (or whatever it is called today).
Also, the author is doing some confusion on who feels entitled =)
- Touche 11y agoThe author is confused about what is (monetarily) valuable content. The brutal truth is that text articles are plentiful, easy to produce and therefore worth close to nothing to users. If you don't give it away someone else will. Hollywood movies, on the other hand, are valuable. So they get to change the web (Web DRM) to suit their business model.
