This document summarizes and compares the perspectives of Kenneth Himma and Yochai Benkler on information and intellectual property protection. Himma evaluates claims that information should be free, arguing that they fail to justify limiting intellectual property protections. Benkler sees these claims as valid in the context of the digital networked information economy, where new technologies empower decentralized production and sharing of information. While taking different approaches, their views provide complementary considerations on this complex issue.
