(2005-03-18) Doctorow Ecosystems Parasites

Cory Doctorow notes that "All Complex EcoSystem-s Have Parasites". His examples: SpamWars, DRM/Trusted Computing, etc. Avoiding the "burn the village to save it" mentality.

This reminds me of Bob Frankston telling me that "everyone who is in a game must be Game Playing". Distinguishing "bad" playing from "good" playing may be rather subjective...
