As i continue reading "The Wealth of networks" i was thinking that keeping general purpose computer distributed, and i mean a normal completely operational PC in every home, was even more important than i thought in the war for the public good.

If the population can maintain their current ability to out pace, outgrow, outshare and out communicate the big players with distributed solutions, good projects will have more capacity and emerge as industry leaders.I think this will happen as people will tend to pledge their CPU, storage and bandwidth toward project that help them and therefore will eradicate business crooks and the like. (yes, of course, some bad will come of it too...)

I wonder if this could lead to a big lowering in the reliance on intellectual property revenue as a way to make business, art, etc, particularly in the health sector where keeping drugs price artificially high should be a crime against humanity or in the movie industry where a good script would get millions of people to render frames.

I'll have to keep this in mind for the coming guerrilla backpack project. How could we leverage this while avoiding the pitfall of a big companies paying people to work on small parts of big secret puzzles, like in One Point O.
