If Your Business Model Revolves Around Taking Some Feature Away From People,
You're Doing It Wrong
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm always amazed when companies think that they can take features away from

| figured out how to make money share with those who haven't isn't the answer
| either. There are business models that work just fine for those creating the
| music that don't require demanding anyone else share their profits. You just
| focus on coming up with real scarcities that give people or companies real
| reasons to buy and there are tons of business models that work.
