The DMCA (and the RIAA and similar) do not agree with you and had its
way to the law. Information is property, even if immaterial.
Same with patent (and patent-troll). That's the law, you can have it
changed but you have to live in its current version.

Have you no problem with that remote-camera in your dressing and your
bathroom ? We also connected your toilet. It's just information. (and we
sell it to your insurance company and tailor... your bank is also
interested in your health analysis from the pattern of the flush on the
toilet).

You cannot hold that promise, as even extracting oil & gas for your car
might affect my life.

Posting to a newsgroup is a public action, no privacy problem here. But
even the pattern of using a software is not that public. Therefore, I
expect my pattern to not be available to someone else. This is not your
to know, not without an opt-in from me.

You can have my pattern for posting, but should not have the one of my
reading. That's the boundary Google is crossing since a bit of time.

Pragmatism should be balanced with reflection at philosophic level. It
seems so far money is more than anything else, and I'm afraid the
Christians and maybe others have some quotes already about that being
not so good.

I remember a quote from a Benjamin about trading liberty and security. I
will always stand on the side of liberty, even if I'm ready to hit with
a nuke the one caught threatening my security. I do not have a
proportional response curve.
Show a knife, get nuked; In the meantime, you're welcome.
