> the end of ownership I think it more likely the acceleration of ownership. Near-infinite copyright, patented math, the trend has been more greatly in one direction than the other. Even the nature of FOSS/Creative Commons relies on this (even as many suppose it to be breaking free of it). (As someone from some documentary I can't fully recall put it: we will not be free and the world will not be fixed until every square inch of it is owned privately.) In previous western society, it was acceptable to own the physical human being. The investment was in ontology. But now the investment is moving towards epistemology. People are data. Own the data, own people.
