sharing is human nature and is key to survival  
Written by mattlamb the 19 Aug 09 at 02:45. Global category: Copyright Consultation. New
without our society of sharing resources, ideas, and science where would we be?
reselling these ideas or resources in a "commercial" way without the creators permission is already illegal.

The more often your work is shared, seen, admired, learnt from the more chance people will value it and pay for the product commercially.

If sharing is natural and 99% of young people are doing it please do not consider restrictive laws that will have the effect of the extreme minority controlling the majority, its a recipe for disaster politically and financially.

Solution #1: By passing a law
Written by mattlamb the 19 Aug 09 at 02:45.
By passing a law that encourages free sharing so long as it is "individually" in nature and not commercial we will do what libraries have be doing for years educate and inform.
creators will find more success personally and financially through sharing than they ever will by effectively hoarding and only selling to those that have the money.
