Information Cannot Be 0wn3d

Posted by Ernest Miller

John Palfrey uses his blog to summarize what sounds like an extremely interesting lecture by a visiting scholar to the Berkman Center (Prof. Jean Nicolas Druey: "Information Cannot be Owned"). The post is somewhat unclear, but it seems to be an attack on the "property" concept of information and that what is important is not regulations of the substance of the communication, but rather, regulation of the channel of communication.

Hmmm ... I would definitely like to know more. Seems very similar to what I've been saying for a few years now, such as:

It's Freedom of the Press, Stupid
It's All About the Distribution, Stupid
