I've found that the more conservative and capitalist your audience is,
the more quickly they seem to understand the issues surrounding
artificial scarcity and the more inclined they are to agree that when
the unit cost of duplication is zero, we are in brand new economic
territory and new business approaches and indeed new laws are needed.
