2. “On the one hand information wants to be expensive,
because it's so valuable. The right information in the right
place just changes your life. On the other hand,
information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it
out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have
these two fighting against each other.”

3. “I believe that all generally useful information should be
free. By 'free' I am not referring to price, but rather to
the freedom to copy the information and to adapt it to
one's own uses... When information is generally useful,
redistributing it makes humanity wealthier no matter
who is distributing and no matter who is receiving.”

5. “The opposite of a free culture is a
‘permission culture’—a culture in
which creators get to create only
with the permission of the powerful,
or of creators from the past.”
