The archives of this list contain many discussions about how artists
make money in a world without copyrights. It never ceases to amaze me
that people who claim to be creative have such a pathetic lack of
imagination for business models, blindly assuming that the standard
old method of selling recordings is all there is.

You can also check out the archives of the Freenet project for more
discussions about the topic (http://freenet.sourceforge.net/).
