Was debating whether to read this or to keep watching Mad max--think I made the right choice. When you talk about micro payments (Monero, no?  ), I was think of how a site like soundcloud could benefit from penny (or fraction of a penny) listen fees--they only play 15 second adds every half hour or so, but as more manufacturing moves directly to the consumer, it would make more sense to replace that meager sum with micropayents--and since so much of their best content are covers--this would allow the original artist to gain the lion share while those who tweak their work would also benefit and help the original work to stay fresh. The profit division would be content originator, content distributor/centralizer, and sometimes, content  editor. It's mind boggling simple and the efficiency gains are ridiculous.
