Edited sentence: " Unfortunately Netscape was not successful enough to promote the further spread and implementation of the Bazaar model of software development.He says that "Netscape is about to provide us with a large-scale, real-world test of the bazaar model in the commercial world.However, the idea of open source software is still very unproven as mentioned in the article "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric Steven Raymond.However, this idea of open source software has and will drastically affect the topic of software piracy.If the Bazaar model can be implemented successfully it is truly the best solution for solving software piracy.In his article, Raymond brings up the example of the Netscape internet browser.In our society money is the driving force behind most actions.Linux is a perfect example of how cooperative group work can lead to the development of software which is equal if not better than software developed using millions of dollars of research and development funds.Linux is an open source operating system (OS) that is used by millions around the world and is even installed on many of the computers and servers IBM sells.Our capitalist culture promotes the pursuit of material wealth.The basis of Raymond's article is his theory of the "Bazaar" model in which software development is much like a bazaar in that the source code for the software is released early and often, and the software developers seek the largest possible pool of peer reviewers.The most famous example of open source software is Linux.The open-source culture now faces a danger; if Netscape's execution doesn't work, the open-source concept may be so discredited that the commercial world won't touch it again for another decade.This brings us to the subject of open source software, software where the source code is shared publicly and people volunteer their time to constantly improve upon the coding and thus improve the software through a group effort.Thus, we must ask ourselves a very important question: Does competition over money degrade creativity and innovation, or is it the main driving force behind them.When we can freely spread and share all information and software there will no longer be such a thing as piracy.Why is piracy such a big deal for software companies.With the spread of open source software comes the elimination of piracy from our vocabulary
