Public or Private Music Forums?

The thought pattern of the knowledge being open to the public it is like the new biz model in music where you can have access to music from everywhere and in any device. Thus my question is do you want access to the knowledge that is being produced here from anyone and enable him to post the forums contents everywhere?

If a topic in the forum has a “heavy” concept then you can’t make this topic public for the same reasons that you cannot sell in iTunes “The Wall” from Pink Floyd as separate MP3 files. I mean that “The Wall” is a concept album and unless you own the full album then you can’t understand the value of the meaning. So if a music topic with a “heavy” concept becomes open, then people may share a part of your words in the social networking and the rest of your writings becomes junk. The result is that your point of view has less value than you initially intented when you decided to devote your precious time and write something in this forum.

In other words you do not want to underrate the value of the discussions here by enabling anonymous persons sharing in public a part of your view’s points and not the full text that you wrote. If so, then you encourage the quantity of the democratic processes but you destroy the quality of the knowledge. The fair thing to do is to have both public and private parts in the forum and after the topic is closed, people can vote if they want to make the topic public or not. You can use applications such as the “I like” in Facebook that are going to lead in the decision making of having a public or a private topic.
