Tim Bray just posted a blog post on how information wants to be free and how that's not actually a problem, economically speaking.
Two choice quotes: "the distinction between bits-as-bits and bits-as-a-service may not always be obvious. But it’s crucial, because people will pay for only one of the two." and "» I don’t sell information ... I sell services. «"
This is the kind of thing that Web services ultimately should be about.
