I won't be participating; I think you already know my views on intellectual property and I work in a profession where undercutting by others has always made life more difficult for us. (although I'm happy enough to say that people come back to us because, really, in this profession, you do get what you pay for).
I think Dr. Hendrix has it wrong when he conflates giving it away with having a blog, but I think he's right about the fact that it hurts other writers when (good) writers give it away for free. I *do* love the Internet (otherwise I never would have met you!).
Gah, not explaining very well. Must give brain its glucose fix.
I don't think it's hypocritical to love one aspect of something and not love so much another. It's a matter of balance, yeah?
