[Air-L] Marxist Critiques of Online Advertising?

[Jay Hauben]

Hi Adam,

I am not sure what makes something a Marxist critique. But in 2002 
this paper was published in Science Studies, Vol. 15(2002) No.1, 
61-68:

"Commodifying Usenet and the Usenet Archive or Continuing the Online 
Cooperative Usenet Culture?" by Ronda Hauben

Take care.

Jay
