In these sections of Lessig's Remix he discusses the importance about economy today and defines that it is split into two groups that exchanges general ideas or anything that they need to that can be shared. One group will directly give something like intangable or intangable to a second group, which then that second group will choose to directly or indirectly give something back to the first group. He proposes this idea as a sharing economy in his article since you are sharing information with people that you already know.
This coincides with his inital and overall message that everything does not really have a starting point since everyone naturally shares everything with each other. For example, when you're friend asks if you have taken a class before and you have the notes or a portfolio that you can lend them to help them get their own perspective, you have shared information. This is resuing and rebuilding information that you probably had gotten from elsewhere yourself.
He also talks a great number about Netflix and Amazon. On these websites, people are allowed to search for certain things to rent and/or buy (specifically movies when talking about them both). These websites have drastically changed, enhanced, and simplified the way we shop and rent movies today. Typically movies would have to be rented from a store like Blockbuster or bought from Wal-Mart; however since the immense increase in their services online, these companies struggle in technology.
