Hacker's ethic (or at least some of its principles) are indeed spreading through the world's culture and are in my opinion dominating many the aspects of the web.
In fact, when considering webpages or web applications, we can mostly agree on the fact that most of the information we can find on the internet is free. and together with applications, information (news) and software, we can find images, videos and music that can all be considered -legally- free.
The idea that content, and generally speaking intellectual property, should be shared and made available to the world is also at the basics of the creative commons. Not only creative commons support the spread of information on a free basis but they also boost the production of new culture by supporting the use of the shared information.
Together with creative commons, many business models support the content sharing. think of many online journals, newspapers and (in a even more evident way) the whole blogosphere!
