That's Nobel Prize stuff I think, so no – I don't have an answer to that. I wish I had.Richard Hall likes to quote that "it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" – I guess imagining the end of copyright (and thus of the ownership of intellectual property) is a similar difficult leap. I'm reading with real interest what you guys are up to in Canada – you're at the cutting edge!

I’ve been immersed in the issue of Canadian copyright and payment for authors lately (not so much academic authors, but others) due to a conflict between some universities (including mine) and a copyright collective. It’s raised a dizzying set of divergent impulses for me. “It’s going to be a wholesale reorganisation of our cultural concepts. And academia should seriously be at the cutting edge of that.” Hell yeah. But I really don’t know if we are up for that… Had a long conversation with a reformist copyright lawyer yesterday, and somewhere we hacked out to a vision of a broader investgation that might begin to re-create these cultural concepts… But in the light of this Vancouver morning, looking at my copyright-related email, and imagining first steps toward that investigation… it all seems as remote as one of those sci-fi novels you refer to.On another note, have you encountered anything that adequately reconciles the post-scarce commodities (like information) and the ones likely to become even more scarce (energy, food, freedom)?
