Hi,

Nice post. I really like how you advocate experimentation.

It isn’t clear to me from the post – do you make any suggestions on how to approach the fundamental problem:

As Clay Shirky describes – large business currently exist and function with the aim of solving a problem that no longer exists – replication and distribution of information. However, due to legal legacies these businesses can still to some degree enforce that the public pay them to solve these problem which no longer exists. And that is a great business – money for (almost) nothing. The only problem is the abusive tactics, lobbying or corruption that is needed to keep the legacy legal climate.

How do you convince legacy businesses to abandon “money for (almost) nothing” – when the alternatives all involve real work to solve real problems?
