Freeware

The internet has become an interesting thing...it's own entity (also see this one and this), with it's own laws.
Governments think they can control it, but nothing can contain the vastness of this land of Internet.
Within this new world, social norms have been broken: sex, stalking, and free stuff run rampant.
I suppose, in a way, this is the digital form of anarchy.
Does anyone else find it strange that so much of the things online are free?
There is free entertainment (games, movies, tv shows), free education, free news...there are even free programs and applications for computers, along with everything that goes with it. There's free art, free music...you can even become a minister for free!
Outside of the internet, most of these luxuries are not available so freely. People rarely shared any of the things that are shared online with many people for free before the internet became such a large part of society.
So this begs the question...what on Earth does this mean??
It means that we don't need what we currently have: laws. Not anarchy...just less laws. "That government is best governs least," after all. Many people in this country, and world, have discovered what it's like to freely share with others; you don't have to worry about paying anyone or getting paid for something that you really just want to share.
So do we even need money anymore?
Yes. Not everyone has pure intentions online...most have pretty darn pure intentions, with some selfish gain involved (look awesome I am at music/art/writing/sports/etc!). We're only human; we're naturally selfish beings. However, we might be on the road to living in a moneyless society. Not communism...Just naturally giving and receiving without greed. Ok...maybe communism in its purest, least corrupt form. Or the Law of Consecration, in a realistic way for today's society.
The internet has become a piece of Utopia, and a piece of Hell. It's the only place where almost anyone can speak completely freely.
It's my favorite place in the world.
