A. Enclosure of materials = increase the costs of raw materials, as costs of material processors and distro fall.

B. Crminalisation: of designing sharing tools to access materials = transfer cost of enforcement from private wallet to public purse. Criminalisation II: anti-hacker/intrusion etc. = manufacture security professionals for corporate know-nothings, cut off flow of excarcertaory knowledge from other knowledge workers Criminalisation III (NET): stanch p2p distribution mechanisms which provide access to the archive and means to superced commercial web page accelerators. Criminalisation IV: more general function of reorganising norms through social terror.

C. But: Organisational divergence between Geeks accustomed to P2P and Independent artists encouraged to work in glorious isolation and accept glory as the award for their amateur status. Contrast attempts by NY artists to organise themselves from 1968-1982 - p2p environment, problem of controlling output remained - and the successful camapigns in the movie industry in the 1930s/40s, unions dealt with collective action problem) D. Subsections on: work for hire/ moral rights/contracts offered (from tasini to Vines to Atom to written by me), and relationship between outcome and media industry structure seen as part of a question of political power and its structural reproduction.

Conclusion: Not so dissimilar to the one you evoke in the Titanic example. Social welfare flows. A racket. Free labour indeed. Towards a real choice for workers of the immaterial sphere who live in a material world.

...the nature of control mirrorss feudal forms, such as the idea of intrusion as a breah in the feudal order, more concerned with defiance of the social order than any concept of cost-based crime as is so de rigeur.

Furthermore, the location of information, or rather the movement of knowledge, can be plotted acrosss another axis too, namely that of the trade secrets and the attempts to asrtcificially lock the exercise of know-how to a given location, even where the competitive nature of the labour pricing economy measn that workers will be brought in from developing countries. The introduction of criminal laws has occurred in the TS area too, so now we see that the picture is indeed assembling itself.... search marx.
