我的任務是「慫恿世界領袖加入這個促進美國商業利益的大集團,成為其中一份子。到最後,這些領導人會陷入負債的天羅地網,不得不低頭死忠。如此一來,我們就能隨心所欲地擺佈他們,以滿足美國政治、經濟或軍事上的需求。另一方面,這些領袖會因為帶給人民工業園區、發電廠、機場等建設而鞏固政治地位。至於美國工程建設公司的老闆,也會因此發大財。」
先說好,這次不是政治文了。講到台灣經濟,是台灣每個人最關心的事情。經濟問題,最後一定要和藍綠扯上關係的話,常常反而糢糊了真正重要的問題。 這兩天看到天下雜誌這一期(12月19日出刊)的封面專題,它的封面是這樣寫的: 台灣有22萬人落入貧窮線以下,為什麼富者越富貧者越貧? 比較上一期新新聞的封面:(見踢爆新新聞『你就是新貧族』封面唬爛故事) 台灣中低收入戶破1286萬人.. 這兩個數字竟相差60倍。媒體怎麼在統計數字上玩語意和數字的魔法,從這兩個雜誌的封面可以稍微了解一下。
The world as we know it is about to be transformed. Why? Because our economic system is based on continuous growth, and unlimited material growth cannot be sustained on a planet with finite resources. There are only two possible outcomes; either increasing resource shortages and collapsing ecosystems will end advanced civilizations on earth, or a sustainable planetary system will emerge.
世界將如何改變?
All of this is part of a more general trend towards a distribution of the means of production. Part of it is a natural technological trend towards miniaturization; but the other part is political and social, it is dependent on how, and with what intent, we will be using these new distributed means and how we skillfully evade and oppose protocollary and proprietary restrictions.
朝向分散式的社會
But the sharing and spreading of new ideas is central, not only through the Internet, but socially. Various platforms, amplifiers and scenes are central for the sharing of knowledge at this level and this is actually something that can be supported beyond the “recreation” or “hobby” level it is perceived as today.

You can see it out your window, or on your television. You feel it when you go to work, go to church or pay your taxes.
This is an invititation to anyone interested in creating new and non exploitative ways of doing business to contribute and use the Open Business Models WikiHive. Especially those interested in the development of RevenueSharingModels, and OpenSource software development for Open business applications.
We shouldn’t underestimate the power of big pharma to influence how open source is perceived if they felt it would be to their disadvantage. Also note that it wouldn’t have to be a company that provided open source technologies in order to have this industry-wide effect: it could be a non-profit organisation.
以跨國藥廠的例子說明即使是一小撮人願意改變(open source)也足以撼動整個體系. Janet Hope http://rsss.anu.edu.au/~janeth/
At the end, the lesson is one of a paradox. As the power shifts increasingly towards community, the corporation loses its grip on the traditional means of control. Yet, by letting go of control, the corporation creates an environment where the community willingly creates its own switching costs.
是網路使用者主導商業模式,而不是大企業. 也提到運用P2P經濟模式的音樂社群/產業: http://www.weedshare.com/
To get practical, a decentralised system offers us a chance to synergise our efforts; we can avoid competing to attract users to join up to our site, avoid a ‘winner takes all’ effect which would result in competition between a few big players ( c.f. Ebay). The decentralised approach to account holding is designed, like WWW, to create a ‘network of networks’ — allowing everyone using compatible software to form one big internet gift economy, just as different bittorrent clients help one another by taking part in the same torrents. The effective size of the network becomes the sum of all our efforts, and an increase for one of us means an increase for all.”
Communities will Dominate Brands as soon as Users can create and manage their own digital identities and payment tools. Open Standards for Payment and Open Source software implementations will make Users independent of the major Communication Service Providers. Once Users can access the source code of their communication and payment tools the real P2P Economy will start to flourish.
誰將支配社群? 使用者或通訊服務品牌大廠
The Free State Project started with a collective vision of liberty-minded individuals who are committed to working together with unprecedented success to reduce the size and scope of government while expanding free markets and personal freedom.

Last January, in discussion the OSCAR open source car project, we posed the important issue of the linkage between the design phase and the construction phase, assuming that the deep linkages between designing and actually making are vital for the success of open source production models in the physical world.

People will share and trust more, when they are reciprocated with more real value

Marcins goal is to link the two issues of ecological farming and open source in a new and radical way. He plans to establish working prototypes of locally operating production units, based on a kind of apprenticeship model that empowers people with little or no experience in farming, crafts and other essential everyday skills to run through a process of hands-on experience - meaning they can then decide to run their own local businesses and experience centers.
將Open Source概念運用在生態農業的案例
研究報告中稱:『通過研究詳細的數字音樂文件下載記錄,我們發現文件共用並未給唱片銷售情況帶來太大的負面影響,這種影響幾乎可以忽略不計。』2002年美國CD唱片銷量為8.03億張,比2001年減少了8000萬張。美國唱片行業協會將唱片銷量下滑歸結于盜版盛行,而且過去幾年一直大張旗鼓地打擊盜版。但研究人員預計,2002年因文件共用而導致的唱片銷量下滑不超過600萬張。
收錄作為P2P對慣行產業的影響案例
主流傳媒通常本身是大企業或隸屬於企業集團(如西屋或通用電氣),報道或會有所偏袒。擁有傳媒的企業集團還有其他生意,當新聞構成企業的利益衝突時,理論認為傳媒在報道時會有最大偏見,並作出新聞審查。
儘管如此,今天許多人認為這本書傳遞的總體信息是準確的:地球資源是有限的,因此,無可避免地會有一個自然的極限。
無限制的消耗地球資源將導致生態滅絕
Here’s a wacky idea: How about making government a model for natural, responsible, community-based sustainable enterprise? Yes, of course, government is currently bureaucratic, unresponsive, and inefficient. And it’s not especially effective either.
什麼可以取代無人性的、導致生態滅絕的現行體制?
據該報報道,最近有關專家對“超級美鈔”進行檢驗後發現,這些大額假鈔上使用的安全浮水印與真鈔幾乎一模一樣。而且,假鈔的製作者似乎並不想讓這些假鈔在美國境內流通,因為它們幾乎無法騙過美國境內普遍使用的驗鈔機。因此,既然作假者能夠製作如此精美和高技術含量的假鈔,為何惟獨沒有想到這一層?
另一種"監守自盜"?
INDISTR是1月8日才啟動的新服務,使用者可以在此平台上販賣自己創作的音樂,價錢也可以自訂,非常的自由,同時網站也提供小語法可以嵌入到自己網誌中!我想這對於一些音樂創作者,是一個蠻不錯的平台!
