| government, its advisers and – most of all – the media industry lobby – are 
| intent on locking down behaviour according to analogue norms. You can upgrade 
| your broadband infrastructure until you are blue in the face, but if you are 
| still trying to run it as if its payload were atoms, you're doomed to 
| failure.

| Wikipedia (which excludes original research from its scope, but strongly 
| encourages citation of original sources), and open access journals which 
| publish original research which Wikipedia authors can easily cite, and which 
| Wikipedia readers can reliably follow links to gain access to.
