Law Nine: Software - Open Always Wins...Eventually

內容大綱
The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is an 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Composed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 11 discusses the ninth and final law of disruption: software. Different software models are explained, and the open source business model is explored at length. The author traces the movement of software from physical media to web-based usage, or "Software as a Service" (SaaS), and discusses the implications of this shift.
