Better then Free by Kevin Kelley

Better then Free by Kevin Kelley is a very interesting article.  It talks about the digital age of every kind of entertainment and pretty much everything.  He goes on to talk about how with the internet everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.  This means that even this article I am typing and you are now reading is not the orignal, but yet a copy.  Every key stroke is recorded somewhere and then pulled from when someone wants to view it.  He also talks about the ability to copy others work and that not every copy is real and authentic.  Some copies can be customized to the consumers needs, but they are not always real copies.  Farther in the article it is talked about that consumers and fan of different entertainment enjoy paying the creator of the product.  But only if it is easy and they know that the money will be going to the creator of the product.  Yet the most important point brought up is at the end of  the article; findability.  This is the biggest point of the article - so I think.  This is because without having your masterpiece found (even if its free or costs money), you have nothing.
