Better than free, by Kevin Kelley

The article Better then Free, by Kevin Kelley is an interesting piece on the technological age and how it has effected the way business is conducted.  He discusses the internet as a copy machine that runs on free downloads, uploads and digital data.  He claims that in a free world there are still things people will pay for, 8 to be exact; immediacy, personalization, interpretation, authenticity, accessibility, embodiment, patronage, and findability.  I would agree that in this new age of technology it is easier to get music and movies for free then it is to pay for them, and that this means people will have to come up with different ways to make money off their art.
