Open source is terrifying!
Here come the open source culture = piracy articles... from CNN.
"With the open-source culture on the Internet, the idea of ownership -- of artistic ownership -- goes away," Alexie (novelist and poet Sherman Alexie) added. "It terrifies me."It's more terrifying when someone groups open source with piracy. In my experience, as an artist at times and helping to run an electronics company, open source and open source hardware actually give the maker more control and more artistic ownership.
