Why we should all feel incredibly guilty for even reading this blog...

My favorite quote from an online article today:

"We are uninterested, verging on contemptuous, of the marketing strategies that were supposed to pay for us to enjoy online services for free. We've become totally unwilling to pay for them directly, either; we simply figure that someone, somehow, will pick up the tab."

Any guesses regarding context?

Apparently, our desire for free access to global networking sites that rely on content and participation from the community like YouTube is incredibly selfish, ignoring poor, hard-working companies like News Ltd who scrape an honest living out of selling us things like access to information.

Feeling guilty?

Here is the link in all it's 'young generation expect everything for free' glory: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/how-can-youtube-survive-1734267.html
