There's some reciprocity there as well (just like code). 1 produces Y tracks
of music for X people and X people produce X*Y tracks for music for that 1
person. Music, much like computer programs are duplicable. They are cheap to
transfer in an age of broadband as well. Creative Commons does to the
records industry the same thing that Free software (it can be commercial)
does to proprietary code. In the same vein, blogs and journalism; stock
exchanges and photographers...
Ultimately, more people have /more/ information. This bridges the gap between
those who can afford plenty and those who get very little, despite the fact
that there's no manufacturing cost. Time and passion don't equate to raw
material or physical labour.
