    That's only half the quote: >On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other You're omitting the counterbalancing force.

    Free your SSN and mother's maiden name to me please.

      Are you aware that SSNs have absolutely nothing to do with copyright law? They aren't covered by that.

        I'm responding to "information wants to be free". I don't think the quote is "only copyrighted information wants to be free"
        • stale2002 8y ago
          The thread is specifically about copyright information. I am not sure why you made a comment about completely unrelated information that has nothing to do with the fundamental question regarding copyrighted information. The term "information wants to be free", obviously is about the commericalization of information. It has nothing to do with privacy.
          • oh_sigh 8y ago
            And the quote I'm responding to is generally about information.
