Editorial
Al Capone, the most famous twentieth-century American gangster and mobster in Chicago between 1925 and1932, stated that the prohibition was not slowing down the consumption of alcohol; it was only giving up themarket to organized crime. The prohibition of sharing on internet that we are experiencing is as much effectiveand produces the same effects. Digital gangsters, who had until now worked in the open now hide their densin dark alleys and clients, stigmatized but determined, will now have to venture there.
Al Capone, le plus célèbre gangster américain du XXe siècle et parrain de la maa de Chicago entre 1925et 1932, afrmait que la prohibition ne ralentissait pas la consommation d’alcool, elle ne faisait que céder le
marché au crime organisé. Il est fort probable que l’ère de prohibition du partage sur internet dans laquelle
nous entrons soit aussi efcace et produise les mêmes effets. Les gangsters numériques, qui avaient jusqu’àmaintenant pignon sur rue, cacheront dorénavant leurs ofcines dans des ruelles sombres et les clients stig
-matisés mais déterminés devront dorénavant arpenter ces ruelles.

creative when they enjoy privacy and freedom frominterruption.This article enlightens the comfort of introverts workingalone, and why solitude is a catalyst to innovation.
