With alternative distribution increasing in popularity by every day that goes by, Ernest Adams takes the question about copyright and publishes a interesting article about it on Gamasutra. Ernest Adams is a known freelance game designer, lecturer and a author that writes about game development and the industry, parts of his work is used in our education.Warren Spector, the creator of System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex, is currently working on a new project using the source engine and will distribute it through Valves Steam service. Also, we've seen MMORPG being distributed with ingame ads and/or by taking payment for services around the game and not for the game itself.
In my opinion, this is currently going in the right direction and my wish is to one day make a game that will be be as widely spread as possible, and I only want to earn enough for food, rent and so I can start working on the next game.
The End of Copyright

Copyriot is a great swedish blog focused around this 'new world' and copyright concerns related to that. Good reads.
I've been buying indie games on the net for a while now.. it's so cool to see people making games and money from them without any publishers or real world advertising.
Maybe a future post?! Do some interviews and reviews. Hmm..
