Legal and ethical issues

Responding to the question to whether the use of information like journals, or movies or other type of media should be free. I think that information regarding all of these things should be kept limited. The idea of having copyright things is for the sole purpose for someone to prevent stealing valuable information that can be used against one person or even one company. Open-access can sometimes be good, only in certain things that would be known not to bring any consequences if the information is used unlawfully. as described in the article about Aaron Swartz, a Data Crusader, and  now a cause, " In the debate over whether information should be made widely available. On one side were activist like Mr. Swartz and the advocacy groups like the Electronic Frontier foundation and students for free cultrue. On the the other were governments and corporations that argued that some information must be kept private for security or commercial reasons." This quote can clearly collaborate on my point, these two sides are clearly looking for what is best for the people. Although my point concurs with that of the government and large corporations, it is for the good of one company and to protecting that factor that always benefits everyone, Money.
