For anti-open source ideology.....

IPcentral.info is the Internet arm of the Center for the Study of
Digital Property, which is a wholly-owned (and some times wholly
disowned) part of The Progress and Freedom Foundation. The Center
started operating on January 1, 2003.

Our Pole Star is the belief, convincingly demonstrated by the troubled
and triumphant history of the 20th Century, that commitment to free
markets and property rights, combined with the rule of law rather than
the rule of micro-regulation or the whim of a ruling class, is the best
way to organize human economic activity. Further, this wisdom applies to
the rising world of intellectual creations and digitization as much as
to the conventional worlds of physical goods.

In the age of the computer and the Internet, the belief in property
rights, markets, and limited regulation is under attack. There is a
rampant assumption, especially in academia, that technology has rendered
these institutions pass=E9, to be replaced by communitarianism,
cooperation, and open access. And once again a great illusion stalks the
economic landscape - that government regulatory agencies are fit to hold
the One Ring of Power, untrammeled by ignorance, political cynicism,
capture, or bureaucratic self interest. We disagree.
