Quote, unquote: The lure of easy rebellion

"You want a new generation of free content producers to take the place of the old fuddy-duddies who like to get paid for their work? Go to the source for impressionable youth seeking easy rebellion from the old way of doing things -- go to the universities.

"Want free content? Call it something even more attractive than "free;" call it "open!" Want your business model to seem less like raw capitalism and more like fun? Don't call it a business model; call it a movement. Kids love movements."
