About functional works, ok, I get the argument overall (though the NC aspect
isn't specifically addressed, but I see how it can be impractical to
distribute, for say, financing the printing of manuals).
about non-functional works, I thought about the post-scarcity mindset (though
not as a society but as an individual), and indeed it could work for me.
As long as no power (money) is involved, it's a possibility.
As for how such a scarcity-free society could happen, (besides for example
torrents contributing to that), I vaguely remember that the whole Silicon
Valley is working somehow towards that. Probably not with the exact same
intentions, but with the idea of making work for a living unnecessary (not
necessarily a positive thing, but it's a natural evolution as technology
evolves). I'd like to read more about this subject, and I'll try to find that
article.
I'll also try to check if his argument has evolved. but most likely it
didn't, because even with e-books, the situation is overall not that
different I suppose.
Thanks for the link, Magic Banana.
