Is lunch free? What about journalism & knowledge?

Malcolm Gladwell reviews Free by Chris Anderson: Books: The New Yorker and eviscerates his argument that information should be free. I am not so sure that Gladwell has it right and think that there is certainly a difference between information and journalism or scholarship or knowledge. Yet, his point is a good one and has a greater appreciation for nuance and historical changes. Chris Anderson responds, less well I think, in Techdirt. Both are worth the read.
