Gladwell vs Anderson: FIGHT!

Wow - amazing review of Chris Anderson's book "Free" in the New Yorker by Malcolm Gladwell.
Anderson then fires a response here.
 
I love the thinking that both of these guys provide us, so it's awesome that they're trading blows. It's a compelling attack. I wonder how much of the review is tempered by circumstances surrounding the economy? I remember reading the concepts behind Free well before "the crash" and it was positioned (IMHO) as an optimistic, world-of-opportunity sort of thing, but it's being discussed now with the survival of industries in mind.
 
I'll make up my mind once I've had chance to digest the book.
 
Hmm, I wonder if Seth Godin will weigh in? Go on, go on, go on...
