Read Piracy is the Future of Culture today and made a page for it. Also read Out-Cooperating the Empire and made a page for it. Erring on the side of overproduction with regard to pages for the time being.

The only new concept for me between the two was "the trap of amateurization." I can recommend the former, as it's well-written and I didn't find anything within that I disagreed with. The latter was very much of its time (2006) and posits some ideas which seem to have not been borne out by the events of the last two decades. I probably would have found it exciting if I had read it around the time of its publication, but I'm no longer that person and this is no longer the turn of the aughts.
