[Advocacy Advisors] "value tree" of the Internet

I have no idea how accurate this article is (though the author is Good
People(tm)), but I would be amused to see a version of the "value
tree" diagram that included some of the things we have been talking
about here, like:

- the role of exceptions in providing source material, not just for us
but for commercial providers like Disney and Google
- ditto for the public domain
- non-monetary incentives throughout
- role of P2P in distribution
- etc.

Anyone with artistic skills up to it? :) (Or better yet, source for a
flowchart in Xmind or Dia?)
