Information is a unique commodity. In what way is information a unique commodity? So the information is a commodity right like if you Google data and you put that in a Google search you'll see data is the new oil. data is the new gold. people you know data on the internet World data is really valuable in our personal data we're seeing how valuable it is to advertisers and you know to law enforcement. but the interesting thing about information is it's not fungible. so oil is fungible. if you know you can get oil from this Barrel or from that barrel and oil is the oil is oil. or water right? if I fill this bucket of water I can just fill it with more water and here's some water. information is unique right if you say hey I want to learn more about malaria and I say oh well okay here's a report and I hand you a report about like influenza or the properties of iron that is not going to be useful for you right? if you want my information and I hand you somebody else's information that's not useful. every piece of information is unique. So whoever owns the most information rules the market. because you know whichever academic company owns the most academic material or scholarly material that's the company everyone's going to use because they have the most of this unique type of information. that it's it's really hard for startup Legal Information companies to compete against West Hall and Lexus because they don't have as much unique Legal Information that these companies have. and then these companies have exclusivity on this information. it's as if you know you're not going to watch a streaming service that doesn't have you know the majority of the programs you want to watch. and unlike streaming services where this stuff gets re-licensed and you know there's a bargaining power associated with people producing the content for a streaming service that allows them to say like you're not going to get exclusive streaming or it's going to be exclusive only for a period of time. if I'm an if I've written a thesis for you know my doctoral thesis I don't have the bargaining power to say it's only going to be available. you know I'm going to license it around these different places. it's in it's my college is doing it or my University. and the same thing to the law. I mean this is and there are no regulations around any of this.
