How about the irrelavance of copyright? I just attended a trade show where creation and sharing of softwares, guides, templates, and best practices is the primary objective. CK12.org is producing free, common core aligned and NSES aligned digital textbooks. MIT is creating opencourseware. Just about anything we used to find on a newsstand, magazine rack, or library shelf is available for free on the internet. With the cost of publishing and promotion approaching $0, writing for reasons other than profit has taken off. It's natural for people to share ideas. I think there will be a GNU for ideas. There will still be copyright and license, but people will gravitate towards free, inexpensive, and unregulated alternatives.
