Hello Taran
I would like to agree with you: Yes, the problem is business. But What
business? Take as example yours: democracy, gov and people as a such a
business. Two cases:
1) in Europe, 25 countries vote last summer for electing Europpen
Parliament. Only 35% participate and, in countries as Poland, only 15%. An
example of democracy!
2) better than this: only 25% of voters electing President of USA by 50%,
that means only 13% of total voters. An other example of democracy!
Very good business for govs. Bad for people? No, according you and I it is
only their fault! They are invited to vote and they do not vote. But let me
this little margin: Why people do not vote in Europe and in USA? One
hypothesis is because the "empire": empire of medias, empire of desilusion,
tiring...a horse tired cannot continue to run! And authors as Lessig are
right against this kind of "empire" when they promote free licencing!
Cheers
