I saw this on slashdot, and thought some of you would find it interesting; those of you that can finish reading it anyways, since it is rather long. I thought it was a pretty neat write-up, had some good points.

If you follow economic theory, the $0 tag is one important motivator. Nice article by the way, great find. :)

Thanks, I thought it was pretty cool too. I expected it to be some crappy, malformed article, but it was actually pretty well written and thought out.
