information doesn't want to be free.

[waider]

A great rant by Josh Ellis. What's interesting is that both the rant and the trackbacks indicate that quite a lot of people associate Cory Doctorow with the phrase "information wants to be free", even though the man himself says he never said that. Much, I guess, like certain people never said a particular country was associated with certain events; you drop enough hints to people and they make their own associations.
