David reed On the IP Meme
David Reed is one of the earliest and most adventurous thinkers about the Internet, the way it works and the dangers to its effective operation. He identifies all kinds of restrictions, control and ownerships as dangerous both to the Internet's development tin human society, and to that society as well.

His latest, on what he sees as the dangers of the "Intellectual property Meme" is worth a read.

Society's being conned by a smart collection of devious and dangerous
radicals. These guys pose as "conservatives", but in fact they are
activists, redefining the whole notion of information. Changing it from a
non-rivalrous good into a fully rivalrous good, by getting the government
to synthesize new "intellectual property" concepts into laws, and then
enforcing them.
