In the past rich donors or societies sponsored artists, who composed and created performances, which were possible charged money for the attendees. Is this what you propose? If so, how does recording work in this world? Is it illegal to own a copy of any performance? If it is free, then how do the artists make any significant revenue from their work? Merchandising?
And I notice you didn't address the software question. Is Microsoft supposed to create an OS for good will? I realize that Google has a similar model now, but how would that have worked before the internet?
with regards to softwere at least, theres a very intresting paper, writen by eric raymond called the cathdrial and the bizzar, and two very diffrent softwere writing archutecures. the componey and the GNU open model...roughly speaking. it was writen befor GNU was a breakout, but its about those issues
