Various Comments regarding freedom and information society

Some comments, I have made around some specific issue about Freedom and the Information Society :

Daily Mantra

"All information should be free", Steven Levy (1984, in Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution)

The belief, sometimes taken unconditionally, that information should be free was a direct tribute to the way a splendid computer, or computer program, works--the binary bits moving in the most straightforward, logical path necessary to do their complex job, What was a computer but something which benefited from a free flow of information? If, say, the accumulator found itself unable to get information from the input/output (i/o) devices like the tape reader or the switches, the whole system would collapse. In the hacker viewpoint, any system could benefit from that easy flow of information.
