Why Everything On The Internet Is Now Free
Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson talks with Charlie Rose:
You know this freaky land of free as the Web. A decade and a half into the great online experiment, the last debates over free versus pay online are ending. In 2007 The New York Times went free; this year, so will much of The Wall Street Journal. This calls to mind one version of Stewart Brand’s original aphorism from 1984: “Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive … That tension will not go away.”
This interview is followed by TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington (seen below) talking to Rose about the Microsoft-Yahoo deal, Facebook, blogs, privacy, and tech policy.
