Wow, I created a page! I'm trying to sort out my thoughts on the lecture of October 1, 2009, and I thought that Professor Moglen's comment in the GraspingTheNetTalk page would be a good starting point.

>		Responding to Brendan’s comments, I think it is important to understand the distinction between “information/advertising/branding” a.k.a. marketing and distribution. Corporate marketing ensures that you learn about proprietary products before you ever need them. Marketing does not, however, put the product into the consumer’s hand. It is not a means of distribution. Since many goods produced through anarchist means do not have the support of a robust marketing department, most people will not learn about them until they need them and seek them out. When people seek out functional goods that provide useful information, search engines become a way for producers to distribute these goods without marketing. For example, no one needed to sell me this solution to a problem I encountered for the first time over the summer.
