| Wired Magazine writers on BBC Peter Day's In Business programme
- POV 1 Chris Anderson - "It's a new age... accept everything on internet is free give your stuff away and make money off advertising etc."
(new book is also about Free, and how to make money out of giving things away.)
- POV 2 Kevin Kelly - the Internet is really a giant copying machine, it’s the things in the world that cannot be copied that have real value (book Better than Free)
- Chris Anderson came across as a smarmy git: " old people don't get it. It's a new age on the internet, young people understand its' free" ..you f?ckhead .. it's not new broadcasting has always been free from Radio, TV and even the days of the town cryer, it did provoke some ideas though
- update Oct 2009 - someone just pointed out tthat far from getting things for free kids these days are accustomed to having to pay to see big sports events on TV like Premiership football whereas traditionally it's been available for free. So you can't say "everything is becoming free", no you can only say due to technology somethings are now free are others are no longer free.
