    <outline text="Book Review: OurSpace" Offset="09:38">
      <outline text="Main contention is that markets, commons are not at odds">
        <outline text="Thesis is that anti-market activists must halt or divert markets"/>
        <outline text="Antithesis is that all this does is negation without alternative"/>
        <outline text="Synthesis is that appropriating and intensifying tools of markets may lead to new places"/>
        <outline text="Uses MySpace at the start as an example"/>
        <outline text="Corporate owner cannot alter commons nature without disrupting value"/>
        <outline text="Commons emerges from market characteristics, exchange of brands, ideas"/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="Explores the history of the debate">
        <outline text="Looks at anti-market activism going back to 60s France">
          <outline text="This was a little dense"/>
          <outline text="Sets the stage though for a persistent theme"/>
          <outline text="How activists re-use tools of brands, markets"/>
          <outline text="Explores some of the economics"/>
          <outline text="Manufacturing vs. information economy"/>
          <outline text="Maybe with older economic base, sabotage, diversion was enough"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Tracks through contemporary descendants of situationists">
          <outline text="Parody, pranksters"/>
          <outline text="Not as much about stopping"/>
          <outline text="Trying to reveal the ironies, contradictions, hidden messages"/>
          <outline text="Still at the mercy of markets, brands"/>
          <outline text="Too reliant of the stimulus to which the response is made"/>
          <outline text="Too easy for markets to adopt and legitimize, weakening"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Even looks at the leading edge">
          <outline text="Pirates and appropriation artists"/>
          <outline text="Don't think the appropriation argument goes far enough"/>
          <outline text="Does hint at how this is more than mash up, but fixates a bit"/>
          <outline text="Explains piracy is not workable as response"/>
          <outline text="Reinforces that brand, ideas are property by &quot;stealing&quot;"/>
        </outline>
      </outline>
      <outline text="The conclusion hinges on how Creative Commons is a unique response">
        <outline text="Instead of trying to reduce regulation, intensifies it"/>
        <outline text="Doesn't treat market, commons as separate"/>
        <outline text="Provides a constructive response"/>
        <outline text="Literally provides tools for building a totally open commons"/>
        <outline text="Doesn't speak to freeing existing culture, getting any other than activists to use"/>
        <outline text="Does clarify what about Creative Commons makes it effective"/>
        <outline text="Will always be independent of the market but uses the same foundation"/>
        <outline text="Independent in the sense the market cannot co-opt it any more than anyone else"/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="Can clearly see how Identity 2.0 uses some of this same intensification">
        <outline text="Crypto is a simply refusal"/>
        <outline text="Is too easy for the &quot;bad guys&quot; to co-opt and use to their own ends"/>
        <outline text="OpenID intensifies the implicit contracts for sharing of identity data"/>
        <outline text="Everyone sues the same tools, restores appropriate controls for everyone"/>
        <outline text="Doesn't try to cast identity as separate from a market"/>
        <outline text="Only makes sense in terms of an exchange, so how do you mediate that exchange?"/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="Readable but at times dense">
        <outline text="A good complement to Free Culture">
          <outline text="Examines many of the same issues but from a different perspective"/>
          <outline text="Deeper history"/>
          <outline text="In terms of CC as an activist response"/>
          <outline text="Considers IP in terms of branding, corporate control of ideas"/>
          <outline text="Conclusion clearly is focused on CC as only constructive response so far"/>
        </outline>
        <outline text="Short so the density is limited"/>
        <outline text="Fewer examples, less expansive, explanatory than Free Culture"/>
        <outline text="Still, very readable"/>
        <outline text="Well substantiated, almost reads like an academic paper"/>
        <outline text="Still close enough to popular non-fiction to be accessible"/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="I would strongly recommend this as a must read after Free Culture"/>
      <outline text="Has me thinking about other activist causes differently"/>
      <outline text="How else can we use this same intensification?"/>
