Content vs. Culture?

Wanted to point everyone in the direction of a thought-provoking article from Cory Doctorow, the founder of Craphound.com and co-editor of BoingBoing, titled "Why I Copyfight." The article makes the argument that "Content isn't king: culture is," and that "The existence of culture is why copyright is valuable."

The point Cory is making is that copyright exists because our culture creates the market for creative works, through the sharing of information, such as a song or book recommendation to a friend. This sort of information sharing is what our culture is made up of and is what creates the market for creative works.

The Digital Freedom Campaign does not condone or encourage copyright infringement of any kind, but we do see a fundamental need for our laws to ensure that this sort of information sharing can continue in the digital age - so that our culture, and consequentially the market for creative works, can survive and thrive.
