This book addresses issues on the nexus of freedom of and property
in information, while acknowledging that both hiding and exposing
information may affect our privacy. It inquires into the physics,
the technologies, the business models, the governmental strategies
and last but not least the legal frameworks concerning access,
organisation and control of information. It debates whether it is
in the very nature of information to be either free or monopolized,
or both. Analysing upcoming power structures, new types of
colonization and attempts to replace legal norms with
techno-nudging, this book also presents the idea of an infra-ethics
capable of pre-empting our pre-emption. It discusses the
interrelations between open access, the hacker ethos, the personal
data economy, and freedom of information, highlighting the
ephemeral but pivotal role played by information in a data-driven
society. This book is a must-read for those working on the
contemporary dimensions of freedom of information, data protection,
and intellectual property rights.
