Where should we draw the line on collecting and sharing? What can and should be collectable and what should not? Technically we can let people collect and share anything digital using Plum. It’s just bits. Storage is becoming cheaper by the minute and bandwidth, while not free, is available on demand. I wrote about the concept of being "sharing friendly" back in December in Digital Sharing: An Unavoidable Force (please ignore the silly mug-shot).
In another article, Is Copyright Wrong? I look at how current copyright law is out of step with the click-n-grab digital reality. I also try to contrast what Yahoo! and Google are doing when they cache pages and what the Internet Archives does as they snapshot the Web relative to current legal definitions of copyright. The recent Nevada court desicions rejecting the claim that Google’s cache violates copyright law is very encouraging. More about that here on Lessig’s blog.
