Selling your information

[Oberon]

An interesting read, one that Skybird might like, but I can't see the people of the internet paying for information, or if such a circumstance does arrive then a large black market in information will rapidly grow in the manner of Pirate bay.
This is something that is not going to go away, although I suspect that many young people will consider it to be less of an issue as each generation is born into an era where information is spread around as easy as clicking a mouse button, as opposed to those who are from the generation where you had to spend money to buy books, or borrow the information from a library.
Of course, equally there are the ISPs, the gateways to the information, the toll-booths of the internet perhaps, but does the cost of internet access correlate to the amount of information received? What is the value of information?

Anyway, enough of my blurb, here's the article:
