I really don't agree with this premise.
The internet is about communication and information. Simple as that, end of story.
The internet is also chock full of content that people want to protect - keep to themselves.
Virtually every forum I visit includes content with a copyright symbol attached.
I wonder what would happen if someone started Gearslut
s dot com, with a 'Music & Studio Business forum etc.....
I know amateur enthusiasts who have published info about a particular band, or about a particular brand of drums.
They plaster their photos with a web watermark so no one else can use them.
they pursue, out and shame anyone who regurgitates their text on another forum without asking first.
So, I honestly think this notion that the internet is
all about sharing is quite bogus.
