.... and the monetization is particularly possible because of the
material aspects of the internet combined with ownership relations,
which is why it is philosophically problematic and politically
disempowering, I think, that the "free culture" movement perpetuates the
"immaterial myth", by contrasting cyberspace to "real space" and on that
basis arguing for exceptions in cyberspace. One step forward and two
steps back.
