Wired documentary on Shenzhen technology market

This is fascinating to me.  Running time is just over an hour.  It advocates open source as a solution to the crippling intellectual property systems that stand in the way of innovation.

I lived in Shenzhen for 5 years. HuaQiangBei was an intense place. You could find any component for anything you would want to build. Literally skyscrapers full of those little booths selling anything you'd want.

You would see people going in with a spec sheet for a computer they wanted to build and hours later they come out with a stack of stuff that they'll take home and assemble. It's a really incredible place.
