Temat: What should be free on the internet?

Media billionaire Rupert Murdoch wants to start charging online readers of his newspapers a fee. His decision has launched a fierce debate over the future of the culture of free content on the Internet. It has also posed a difficult question for publishers: How much are we worth to readers?

Temat: What should be free on the internet?

Pro:

- it's free
- you save money
- you have the possibility of learning to know things you couldn't otherwise
- knowledge is spread

Contra:

- the producers/artists have a right to earn for their efforts
- even freedom isn't free ;)

I would love to be able to watch my favorite American shows online but I can't because they are coded or something.

Good question, Bernd.

I have noticed that information pertaining to health matters are more protected by moolah interests than those concerning the arts.

Murdoch and the quality people at Fox have been making weird executive decisions for a long time, many of which they revoke or just anger people with. They've done it with books before too, not just TV, and so internet would be a likely "frontier" for them to try something like this with. Would it stick? I don't know...how do you compete with BBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, NY Times, Guardian, etc. with free online news if you are Fox? We're too close to a model of "perfect competition" in internet news...I don't really know if many would actually pay for Murdoch and his affiliates' news online.

I'm very curious to know what exactly you can view on a pay site that you can't also see for free.

I thought more about where does general interest public begin and the copyright end?
There are very different views on that. For instance do many think that mp3s or software should be free of charge and for sharing with everyone. What about the programmers/artists who produced them?

As far as I'm aware, these days you can see just about any vile sexual act you may care to watch on the internet for free.

Again, I'd like to know what 'extras' you can get if you go pay per view.

Again - you can watch any movie/listen to any music for free. But what about the copyrights?

If you're watching porn, it's just a pair of tits or someone's arse bouncing up and down.

It's hard to associate 'quality' with 'porn', as if it were a vintage wine.
