Pirate's Dilemma: Matt Mason Interview & Cooler Cover Art

Pirates on Current TV

Bill Tech pointed me to the above video interview via the comments section for my post regarding Matt Mason's The Pirate's Dilemma.  It's well worth checking out to get a sense of how Mason is approaching the topic of piracy.

Matt Mason - The Pirate's Dilemma [UK Edition]

Plus, it led me to the Pirate's Dilemma blog and the above cover of the UK paperback edition that is much cooler than the cover of the US hardback edition.

Actually, the subtitle of the UK paperback edition is also cooler:
How hackers, punk capitalists and graffiti millionaires are remixing our culture and changing the world

Pirates Dilemma TV show?

Jesse Alexander, the executive producer of the popular TV-shows ‘Heroes’ and ‘Lost’, Matt Mason, author of ‘The Pirate’s Dilemma’, Mark Kotlinski (88HIPHOP), and John Carluccio are working on a new TV-show about piracy. The show will be based on Matt’s book, and will show how important pirates are for today’s society.

The upcoming show aims to educate people about the history of piracy, and how it shapes our future. Pirates are innovators, they signal market problems and lead the way to new business models. Nevertheless, they are often tagged as thieves. In many cases, piracy is helping old businesses to innovate, and it helps to create new legitimate market spaces.
