Wikipedia versus Brittanica

For quite some time now the renowned encyclopedia and the web 2.0 application have been caught up in a fierce battle that refers to the overall fascinating discussion on the true impact of internet on our world. I don't want to end up writing down a long and difficult story about longtails and statistics so I made up this figure. It points out the trends that refer to the way of gaining and sharing knowledge before internet and now. Before knowledge was perceived and shared by few nowadays its far more democratic in which quantity is the most important dimension that makes it work (in other words you make things worldwide without any problem or costs) . Both ways seem to be able to come up with a simular level but the first one completly relies on the few. Although Brittancia claims that wikipedia contains more mistakes because of its structure Wikipedia is defenitely the winner in the end Does it make any sense?

Fuck the music and the movie industry!

Do you remember that BIG campaign (banning Illegal Games and software), screw them!. Surely my energy can be used wiser but these sort of campaigns piss me off. Thank god for internet and the possibilty to share things, to share knowledge share information and share music!. These arrogant loaded weeners of the industry who come up with this shit are worried, very worried. With their money and influence they have managed to make downloading "Illegal". If thats illegal I would like to call out to everybody to become acriminal, please start downloading! .
I don't know if you ever seen MTV Cribs where nameless drummers of nameless bands showing their villa's, swimmigpools etc. I'd tell you who are they?, what's their real contribution to this world? Making a bit of music, thats hardly a real job isn't?. And whats wrong with this picture if you know there is poverty in the world. Or consider the salaries of movie stars earning a few million per movie. People becoming millionaires because they look good on screen? You have a hell of a job and you earn more than a million for it, go to hell is what I say. It's time for some reality in this world. It's time to download as much music and movies as you can. Its time to make a statement. In the end real artist, really talented people will make it anyway. Real popstars are worth paying for, are worth buying that CD, that ticket for the concert to see them life. In this perspective by downloading you will only make a contribution on shifting the talented from the non-talented. So go to http://www.acquisitionp2p.com/ (a great one) install the software and make your call, a call for quality, a call for freedom, a call for equality, a call for free stuff, a call for the new world order! Try and stop us, you bastards.
