Who do asteroids belong to? Can they just claim them and sell the material they extract?
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have my own asteroid mining company. Just need a couple billion dollars first. But what happens once there are two or more competing corporations? Who has the power to say which part of space belongs to whom? Will there be space battles?

This article states that 37signals uses online ads in addition to their 'thought leadership' marketing strategy, which, if true, I would find slightly discouraging.
Amy Hoy doesn't say you should use adwords, does she? Correct me if I'm wrong as I've only read the free chapters and watched the video, but she basically tells you to find a suitable group of customers, see what kind of product they need, and create it. Also, blog about things which that group would find interesting, like 37signals does, to connect with these customers.
Now after reading this article I wonder whether this can actually work. Can you not make a living by creating a product and getting some sales from your blog + SEO?
