Here's another one who thinks the copyright model is obsolete:

It's a much shorter read than the previous link I posted.

Interestingly enough, I find I often work according to the principles Embodiment and Patronage, as described in the article. Case in point: I'm a roleplayer. I often download books that I have no desire neither of buying nor of using - it's only idle curiosity. However, I did download, a couple of months ago, the pdf of a rulebook of a game that sounded interesting. After checking it up, yes it was as good as the hype said, so I bought myself a Hardcover version of it.
So here you have it:
- Patronage: I like what that company makes, and I'm going to use it, so I bought one.
- Embodiment: the same book is available as a pdf ($12), a softcover ($25) or a harcover ($40). Of course, I bought myself a harcover.
