Well, 15 years ago I told some people from Czech Pirate party that they are basically marxists. (At the time, they still wanted a fair copyright reform.) I didn't mean it pejoratively in the least, but seriously, as a historical warning. I pointed out that fight for fair copyright and culture in public domain has a historical analogy in fight for public lands, that were enclosed by capitalists by the end of the 18th century, to get people to the manufacturing plants. People didn't take me very seriously, because, we are white collar professionals, not some stupid peasants or communists, right? And of course, information wants to be free and are simple to copy, so they can obviously always be free. I think digital enclosures are coming, and the digital "public sphere" is shrinking. Some (Varoufakis) even say they are already there. Unless people fight the trend, most of the digital stuff you "own" today will be someone else's property, and not public (similar to land today). Access to it will be limited by laws and controlled by mandatory digital devices.
