Is The Internet Destroying Culture?

Fri, Aug 24, 2007

Current Affairs

According to a British author, the Internet is destroying culture because amateurs and bloggers are allowed to share their work for free with others.He argues that there are artists that doesn’t make a living because their work is stolen on the Internet. He also says that the internet is worse for culture than the Nazis?! To me he sounds like an elitist son of a gun.

Watch the clip from The Colbert Report and let me know if you think Andrew Keen is right. Is the Internet destroying culture? Are we making more artists poor because we share information?

Oh and by the way…you can buy Andrew Keen’s book on his homepage. I’m not giving him link juice, so here is the “manual” link – http://andrewkeen.typepad.com/
