Why big companies shouldn’t rule the Internet

Happened to see the following from the people who do the Ask a Ninja videos: http://www.askaninja.com/node/2836 and really they are right. I’m not on MySpace…but still it’s crazy that News Corporation believes that they can just delete links whenever they want…all for a profit. Macromedia Adobe doesn’t charge for you to download the Flash plugin…and they also don’t make you pay for Adobe Reader. Why should we be migrated to a specific service? Well perhaps when people realize what it means to have a service like MySpace owned by a large Neo-Con group, they will seek better alternatives, such as the privately-owned Facebook or whatever else comes up next. It’s the same thing with the RIAA….their old business model is dead! Until they face it, piracy will still be an issue. Innovation is key!!!
