File Sharing and the Free Public Library
MP3 Newswire -” [C]ould not the activity of file sharing in essence be a form of free public library? Is it not built by a community of people who have assembled content and applied it with the intent of free dissemination to the populace at large? It’s an interesting question, because even if you feel that file sharing should in no way qualify for library status that’s what in all practicality it has become.”
That is a very interesting analogy. I think it is an excellent argument in favor of file sharing. It is especially relevant now that many public libraries have CD collections.
