rest assured, however: there is no comic sans,
and no clip art...
why are we all holding hands?
![Page 6: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• what value and free mean in a web world• how the network has changed us• what to do about it

what does “value” mean?
![Page 8: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
scarcity
![Page 9: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
if we havevaluable things, we:
lock them away,guard them,hide them,charge for them,protect them
![Page 10: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“...any particular unit becomes worth less to people as the supply increases..”
![Page 11: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
scarcity is ok until the content arrives on a global network like the web...
![Page 12: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. radically reduced cost of distribution
![Page 13: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“It makes increasingly less sense even to talk about a publishing industry, because the core problem publishing solves - the incredible difficulty, complexity, and expense of making something available to the public – has stopped being a problem.”Clay Shirky // “Newspapers and thinking the unthinkable” // http://bit.ly/YoqJi
![Page 14: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

2. nearly ubiquitouspiracy opportunities
![Page 16: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“If the product you make becomes digital, expect that the product you make will be copied”
Seth Godin // “Music Lessons” // http://bit.ly/aJehN6

(an exercise in usability rather than scarcity...)
![Page 18: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. a profound and lasting change in our relationship with content
![Page 19: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“..for my generation you partly constructed your identity around what you owned..but for the digital generation this strong link with ownership has been broken.
It took time and money to build up any of those collections. Therefore they demonstrated a commitment which was worth exhibiting.
In a digital world this effort is greatly reduced, and as a result so is the emotional attachment one feels towards them.”
Martin Weller // “Ownership ain’t what it used to be” // http://bit.ly/2vU1oB
![Page 20: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
users: native, lazy, fickle, “mobile”,search-focused...and expecting free
![Page 21: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
these 3 things are fairly radical
![Page 22: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

so how should we respond?
![Page 24: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
#1: recognise thatthis isn’t just a blip
...after whichthings will return to normal
![Page 25: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
..this cannot be ostriched
![Page 26: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
#2: notice that the valueprobably hasn’t disappeared, just shifted somewhere else
![Page 27: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“So, I went to BitTorrent and I got all my pirate editions… and I created a site called The Pirate Coelho”

#3: ask: what can’t be copied?
![Page 30: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“the value in this networked economy does not follow the path of the copies. Rather it follows the path of attention”Kevin Kelly // “Better than Free” // http://bit.ly/blNo9b

things like trust, authenticity, immediacy

#4: realise that your content is like a teenager
![Page 33: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
(you may want to protect them, but if you try, they’ll just climb out of the window and go clubbing anyway)

#5: if you can’t re-use it, you’ve wasted it
![Page 35: If you love your content, set it free (v3.0)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5549f698b4c905e56c8b4616/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
