“Wenn man geistige Güter produziert und ehrlich zu sich ist, weiß man, dass man einer-seits zwar mit dem, was man schafft, etwas verdienen kann, es aber gleichzeitig auch et-was kostet, an Werke zu kommen, um seine ei-genen Werke zu schaffen. Wenn ich also etwas verfügbar mache, erleichtere ich mir selbst und anderen, Neues zu schaffen.”

Yoichi Itohttp://microgiants.com

“Künstlern, Schöpfern, Lehren-den, Journalisten und Wissen-schaftlern gestatten, einfach und legal zu teilen und dabei das off-ene Netzwerk zu nutzen, das das Internet bietet.”
