“When I got started in my dorm room at Harvard, the question a lot of people asked was: ‘Why would I want to put any information on the Internet at all? Why would I want to have a website?’

And then in the last five or six years, blogging has taken off in a huge way and all these different services that have people sharing all this information. People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time. We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is, to reflect what the current social norms are.”

It’s especially hopeless for those whose work is easily digitized and accessed free of charge.
