Due to intellectual property bullshit, we'll never see legal avenues of consuming IP keep up with the ability to disseminate data/information. We have the ability to create the biggest and most far reaching library man has even envisioned. A digital Alexandria that would be both the greatest and cheapest wonder the world has seen. And yet it will never exist and we will squabble amoungst ourselves to ensure the right middlemen get paid and fruitlessly try to enforce an artificial reality where information is a private good instead of a public ocean where all may splash in child-like wonder if only it were allowed.

And one day we will be asked to answer for this barbarism. How could we allow so many of us to go without when they could have it all for free? How could we deny all to billions just to create an artificial marketplace for a few million? How could we possibly stand at beginnings of a profound shared global consciousness with all the tools and technology required to summit the mountain and breath in the glorious horizon and choose to instead stubbornly burrow our heads in the sand. History will ask us these questions and we will be found wanting.
