yeah open source is great, but i think it is consigned to be slightly worse than closed source as long as we have a capitalist economy.
get rid of the profit incentive, and all coders will make their source code open
it is very anarchist/communist as it involves sharing the means of code production. its like a if there was no patent on anything
slightly off topic......
i was involved in coding software (as a hobby) that enabled people to get TV Shows and Films from *ahem* less than legal sources, but then i read Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle, and realised that instead of selling the spectacle, i was merely distributing it for free.
i think this is a good way to look at torrent sites etc.
