This discussion between Chris Anderson and Will Hearst considers how digital technology and the internet have the potential to make instantly available formerly unfindable and unsellable items of every imaginable description. From music, to television programmes to amateur films: everything that was once old, remote, arcane can be made instantly accessible.
