Are you Steve Jobs? Could be? Too think the net is about free? I think Bill Gates, you're not, cuz he makes a lot, and to you and Steve he says, "We'll see."

Some content is worth paying for. The Wave system should not raise frightening spectres of nothing's remaining "free" on the net. The ordinary forces of economic incentive and disincentive -- supply, demand, competition, innovation, aesthetics, regulation-or-not, taxation-or-not, etc. -- will operate to make digital things flow according to their economic value just as material things do. The Wave system will make things that are worth paying for flow more efficiently than they have in the past. They will be more readily available, on more flexible terms, with better protection of intellectual property rights. The economies induced by Wave's new distribution channel will yield savings that can be shared by all players in e.commerce transactions. But the Wave system is not going to spoil the frontier freedom of the net. Best wishes.
