There is a philosophical/political aspect to claim that "information wants to be free" regarding the free access to knowledge or the inherent nature of bits to be free. Cory Doctorow explained at the end of the article that people are free but if they don't have access to free knowledge... they aren't free. I will still use "information wants to be free", sorry Cory.
Of course the meaning of free here is "free as in freedom".
