Good though brief article outlining Apple's strategy of treating content (and even software) as something that is (mostly) free, focusing instead on making money from hardware and services. And, at the end of the article, the suggestion that we perhaps ought to rehabilitate the word 'pirate,' as in: "however much money is being made through the selling of software, music and copyrighted material, the future isn't in protecting the trade routes - it's in making everyone a pirate..." Don't forget to read the comments; there are some gems in there.
