'Open Source' Journalism in Spain
Page 1 of 1 
A beacon of hope from Spain

Hope that the AOL-Time-Warner american big-business model may not prevail. Hope that the attempt by US legislators (and others) to turn back the clock and create scarcity where we should have abundance may fail. Or at least that there will be two economies: the restricted, licensed, expensive economy of copyright and the open, diverse, creative economy of copyleft. In time, even the great power of the US cannot prevent the new technologies from creating a new economic balance. The selling of the work of a few to the masses will be supplanted by a complex web trading the creativity of the many.

I think the copyleft idea is briliiant as it allows people to expand on views and build on information.
Today information is virtually free for all in the internet world, even though some trational media houses still live in a make belive world of granting permission copyright!
I think 20 minutos has taken a bold step in accepting this and moving ahead.
