Important Book to read for those interested making money on the Internet
 

FREE RIDE by Robert Levine

"How the Internet is Destroying the Culture Business and How the Culture Business Can Fight Back"

This interesting book seems to only be available in the US at the moment. I read the first few pages on line and it seems to be very interesting. Maybe someone in the States can give it a read and let us know...

Sounds like it might have a lot of very interesting information that will effect us all over the next few years.

How can you say that it is an important book to read when you haven't read it?

LOL :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Because...

1) I have read two reviews.

2) I have read the first 15 pages

3) I have read the contents and all the issues he discusses

4) I heard the author on the radio today.

idiot .

I wish my life were that simple. Congratulations to you.

I do not want to read the whole book. May be you can impress us with an example? Then I will buy this book.

WTF is the culture biz?? I sell cunt and cunt accessories lol :D Martha stewart sells culture :)

Should have put something in the title that this would be of interest to those who can read books.

My bad.

pussy licking is good if the pussy is clean.

Oh you didn't see? Page 16 on are just drawings of cocks and balls.

I read the review in the Guardian (online... fortunately I don't live in the UK any more), and a lot of the comments, and would really like to read the book.

The point, mentioned in the review, that the Internet took the "culture industry" by surprise is pretty well obvious. In a time when copyright owners are called "trolls" when they try to enforce their copyrights, it's plain that the pirates and their surrogates have the upper hand. I'm interested to read what the author suggests as remedies.

Here's a link to the Guardian review: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...-levine-review

Big difference between someone who copyrights their own creation and a copyright troll.

Oh good god no. You totally misunderstand the term. A copyright troll is a person/company that buys or makes patents on items, then waits and then takes money from anyone that uses his patent. It has absolutely dick all to do with copyright for, say IP.

please do a video review and summary.
