Somehow, mass media have convinced us that we need them to exist, and that we need to pay for them. It's probably the most effective marketing campaign in the history of marketing.

But it's the result of a false scarcity, the result of media companies controlling and restricting channels of communication to make sure there's no other way for people to communicate with each other.

Give me a computer and a wire and I have everything I need to talk to the world and for the world to talk to me.
