BIF-3: Pirates as innovators

Matt Mason (The Pirate's Dilemma: How Youth Culture Is Reinventing Capitalism) talks about illegal activity.

Pirates are one of the most outstanding groups of innovators on the planet.

"People have turntables in their bedrooms... connected to transmitters and they play all kinds of music for the city. Completely unregulated, completely illegal, and I loved it."

"There are 150 pirate stations, mostly in London. They're tolerated because it's providing innovation that trickles up."
