Either on another mailing list or at some conference I remember someone saying something like... we always build values into any technology we create, whether we intend to or not.
(I think it was someone at Vloggercon that said it.)
This certainly seems to be along the same lines.
See ya

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....
