Information doesn't want anything, of course, as far as the word is normally understood; it's argued that the idea that everything that is, is, in essence, information, is, in part, that which makes the "information age" different/interesting, especially when things like music and movies are, by time/technology, presented as information one can easily manipulate, share, copy, e.c. In this way, if the only wars that have ever been fought have been wars for information, it makes sense that the movie/music companies feel as though they're being attacked. But it's rather like a bad dream, where no matter how thick the will surges, one punches as though under water - and it ends up looking like the silly death dance of an expiring culture. Science almost demands that thinkers regard everything as information; normal, non-thinking people, including those who sell movies/music, will now have their chance to contribute to the discussion about what stuff is. I'm learning lots from the discourse, but the whole thing makes me grumpy!
