Information Whats to Be Shared by Joshua Gans. Book makes a sound case for embracing a sharing model to break the logjam the old publishing model has stuck in for more than a decade now. Of-course, Joshua makes no qualms in stating that sharing is just one of many alternatives.
Much creation is collaborative and usually takes place between people who know each other well. The Internet adds a new dimension to creation: collaboration can take place on a larger scale between people who do not and may never know one another. Such shared creation adds a new dimension to the notion that information wants to be shared. When information is used to create new information, knowledge, or content, the dividing line between creation and use becomes blurred. Moreover, impediments to information sharing become more critical.
Bottom line:
Can you envisage a business model for your information based on sharing that provides adequate returns for the cost of creating that information?
