Open source tells content owners adapt or die

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source offers a business model for software which gives consumers more 
| control. They get the code, they can see the code, they can change the code, 
| without ever paying you a dime.  
| 
| [...]
|
| Again the model is the same. And the assumption is it will work best for 
| established brands, which don’t have to pay to market themselves, which can 
| get enough free distribution so ads and donations will make the numbers work.
