Better Than Free

Kevin Kelly's Blog The Technium has a really interesting post called Better than Free. In it he states that the internet is a giant copying machine and it is a very good copier. "when copies are super-abundant, they become worthless." He then goes on to say that

"
When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied."

He then lists 8 generatives that make something better than free. Near the end of the post, he summarizes trait that make something better than free

"
In short, the money in this networked economy does not follow the path of the copies. Rather it follows the path of attention, and attention has its own circuits. "
