Does anyone remember "information wants to be free"? Attributed to Stewart Brand, but expounded on by Richard Stallman as (credit Wikipedia): > I believe that all generally useful information should be free. By "free" I am not referring to price, but rather to the freedom to copy the information and to adapt it to one's own uses ... When information is generally useful, redistributing it makes humanity wealthier no matter who is distributing and no matter who is receiving. Converting the free information into property is the problem. It's not harvesting the forest or the underground rocks into property, it's collecting the output of people and making it not their own.
