forcing customers into corporate-controlled distribution systems; distributed

Papers / Analysis
Information wants to be free is meaningless hype outside its paradoxical
context:
In 1984 the writer Stewart Brand observed that "Information wants
to be free. Information also wants to be expensive. Information wants
to be free because it has become so cheap to distribute, copy, and recombine
-- too cheap to meter. It wants to be expensive because it can be immeasurably
valuable to the recipient." The result, he said, is a tension that
"will not go away."
