This seems like a personal attack wrapped in a reasonable response. I have no ilk, I'm not part of or affiliated with anyone or thing you seem to be implying. My personal belief is that information, though wanting to be free, can be owned just as sure as a loaf of bread or a kitchen sink. And people who own that information should be able to charge for and control the information how they want. Some information can cost billions to create, take decades and involve thousands of individuals. I do think that companies that make such investment must be allowed to profit from it. You make an interesting point about censorship, one I hadn't considered and will need to think more about. I see a difference between public information and private information. I think, after a certain period of time, private information should be forced public, but I'm talking decades. But again, this is a new perspective that I'll have to digest. But still, ur response came off pretty aggressive to me.
