- Unboxed – Verizon’s Experiment in Volunteer Customer Service – NYTimes.com
I'm increasingly starting to think that this kind of thing in unethical: getting free labor, esp. for customer service. I wonder, though, how that meshes with the open source world. With Verizon, here, though, there's no "free" open source software, there seems to be no quid pro quo: Verizon is just getting free labor that it's not paying for. All that said, I'm still not decided if this business behavior is "OK." When does share-cropping becoming slavery?

Wasn't there some Ruskin essay about glass-beads being slavery?
