But here you are again, talking about "people that are for..." as a third
party, rather than about yourself as a person who believes that music must
be free.
I have yet to see a single instance here of this mythical person.
If you are a person who believes that music must cost nothing, now is the
time to raise your hand.

The discussion of whether information should be free IS very important even
for technical reasons. I feel that people that are "for the freeness of
information" are more likely to design very different algorithms and systems
than the rest. In fact, I think p2p is very much about all of this
....sharing, pooling together of resources, .... leading to communities which
enjoy *and depend on* sharing of information and computation/communication
...
So it would be a mistake to stop this discussion or take it off the group,
especially now that the group is alive and kicking...

I'm interested in the cliche where someone says that they aren't one of
those who believe that "...", where "..." is some variation of the
"information wants to be free" hook. For example, here:
"the problem with the p2p crowd is that most are either too
radical...music should be free"

Since this is a nexus for the p2p crowd, it struck me that we could
explore the strawman without having to go anywhere. I'm not looking for
opinions to confront, disprove, or argue with, by the way. I'm looking
to explore the truth of the famous strawman.
That's why this conversation is the opposite of off-topic. It is very
specific to the group.

It does seem that talking about this is more about talking about the p2p
people, and there aren't any universals. On the other hand I always took
this email group to be more about trading technical issues. But once
again that is just my wishes....
