The first two links deal with open access to information. The first is a presented as a parable that tells of an inventor who has a great idea and develops it into a product. However, the truckers, the ones who control the distribution lines will not agree to distribute it unless the inventor signs over all the intellectual property rights to the invention. it is the situation many researchers face when they wish to publish their findings in an academic journal.

The last link is to Keven Kelley’s book about the network economy. I’ve read parts of it, and referred to it while developing some ideas about using non-text resources from the Web.
