Why Aren't People Free?

People are not free due to various valid reasons:

  • Their time been limited is for themselves alone, and is a tradable commodity if they do so wishes. Time is a common goods equity to everyone and thus to save one's time in exchange for another's is a trade in the Knowledge Economy.
  • Their attention or mindfullness is a painful process as it is mentally expensive to think about someone else issue. To exact a person's attention is therefore chargeable, and people are willing to pay for it.
  • The non-transferable nature of skills or experience that a person possessed can be for the benefit of others in a tradable manner.


But Is The Resulting Information Free?

Simple answer is yes. Thus this is in contradiction to patent policy where an act once rendered in informational quality is been repeated again without the tradable elements as stated above, continue to provide earnings to the maker.

There are famous arguments about for instance MP3 downloads over Kazaa versus Sony Music and other companies. Advocates of free music argued that with free downloads of the same music, allows that superstar to be adored, and continues to make money out of appearances and concerts which is still a highly prized comodity that artists enjoy, but it is the recording companies that raked the bulk of the earnings, not the artists themselves in a patented setting.

There are cases now where recording artists and even authors of books going straight to the web to bypass their publishers and agents to gain a better and freer market with no usurp of invisible costs by middle persons who contributed nothing in a flat world economy.


What About Contributors?

This is interesting because when you create some information and publish it freely, you are already a contributor where you now earn royalty in kind perpetually. A ravishing example is the author here himself, Red1 who gain fame and branding soon after publishing some simple tutorials in his red1.org forum. Other examples of contributors of various know-how and effort in this ADempiere project are Trifon Trifonov, Carlos Ruiz, Victor Perez, Peter Goanookie, Karsten Kthiemann and Michael Judd and many others who now appears in the http://www.adempiere.org page.

An author of information does not charge further for reprints or downloads of his information, as he is no longer using his tradable traits stated in the first column above.

In this way all three principles as discovered by Red1 can now coexist harmoniously and enriching all perpetually and in abundance.
