James Murdoch criticises the British Library's plans to digitise old newspapers. And I quote: "public sector interest is to distribute content for near zero cost – harming the market in so doing ..." I think the WMF should be getting a hearing in this debate. Every page of free content we post does clearly remove someone else's chance to profit from selling that content. I want to hear the argument that the Murdoch line is nothing better than an attempt to justify "enclosing the commons" simply because someone can then profit. You have to look at whose land it was in the first place, not whether the result can be monetised.
