Lo scrittore e giornalista Cory Doctorow parla alla New York University di State of the Copyfight 2007: Looking up, not out of the woods yet. Il video, che dura 55 minuti circa, contiene una lunga disquisizione attorno a un concetto piuttosto chiaro e ribadito più volte dallo scrittore:

He gave an excellent overview of the last 10 years or so, highlighting how technology and legislation have gone hand in hand... People inevitably find themselves on one side or another based on their background and who they've listened to in the past... In spite of that, Cory did a good job of explaining the changing landscape and how the laws have interacted in ways that no one expected.

Jimmy Wales, celebre per aver fondato Wikipedia prima rivoluzionando così il concetto di enciclopedia e di Wikia poi, interviene sempre alla NYU parlando di Free Culture, Transparency, and Search. Rimarcando che, come viene riportato nel post a commento dell'intervento:

build up a network of people that can trust each other and put the controls in the hands of the community to modify the ranking algorithms - change the competitive landscape of the search world, its long-overdue.
