Chapter 2 of Jamie Boyle’s “Public Domain” book - https://www.thepublicdomain.org/download/ - especially pages 19-23 or so, but the rest of it is also really telling about some historical thinking on exclusive IP rights. (With all the caveats about “founding fathers” that have ever caveated.)

073 - Data Cartels feat. Sarah Lamdan

We’ve got Sarah Lamdan on to talk about her new book Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and Monopolize Our Information! We talk about government contracting to third party data companies, legal loopholes, the connection to academic publishing and metrics, and the stranglehold the corporate duopoly has over access to US law by lawyers, citizens, and prisoners. Justin also advances his theory that academic journals are just podcasts.
