Think about bittorrent. They are making money. Check it out http://www.bittorrent.com/ Just because you are decentralized does not mean you cannot control the tunnel! And if you change the word, there will be lots of job offers. Think about the founder of the internet, he certainly won't ever have to worry about unemployment. Serve humanity and humanity will serve you. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Good speed, and do not listen to the naysayers. I have set out on an amazing journey myself, and the more I depanded from the universe - by giving away what I had to give of my talent- the more I got back. Not that you should go hungry. You can manage in balance.

I hope you don't mind, I used your comment (with credit) in my blog post response to this question: http://devgrow.com/profiting-from-non-profits-theres-always-...

The gist of my argument is basically the same - there are several examples of people developing game-changing ideas that have no real business model, yet they are still able to profit it from them in some form or another.
