Is free really good?

This piece by Malcolm G. appeared in the New Yorker recently on Priced to Sell, and I find it timely.  As I continue to struggle with a couple of business ideas I’m working on, I find it interesting to see this article analyze the differences between free and charging for something (be it goods, ideas, or whatever).

I keep thinking about youtube.  All the free entertainment there…but what is the value? Kittens inspired by kittens is a perfect example around the struggle of free.

At least we can all have a little chuckle while pondering really deep thoughts…
