Misunderstanding Micropayments - Scott McCloud
by Decius at 2:55 pm EDT, Sep 14, 2003

] Think about it: If you wanted Hail to the Thief and the
] whole album could be downloaded for $5.99, what
] difference does it make that there%u2019s a free album
] from Hootie and the Blowfish somewhere else? If you want
] to download Donnie Darko, who cares if someone else is
] giving away Dances with Wolves? If you want old Firesign
] Theatre recordings, why would the existence of a free
] Henny Youngman collection influence your decision?
] Comparing these decisions to "Coke versus Pepsi"
] denigrates the creative process.

A worthy response to Shirky's recent micropayment article...
