It's not a quote, but a statement. And even if it were a quote, random other quotes from the same person are not relevant. "This is just a part of the quote" people are so annoying. Like guess why it is "only a part of a quote"? Because some parts are neat, insightful and true, and some other parts are irrelevant and garbage.
Sorry, this was a more general rant, because it is so annoying every single time.
In this case: Who the hell cares about that random guy's random views? How is it relevant in this conversation?
For me, it was useful to clarify that "information wants to be free" was "information wants to be gratis", not "information wants to be libre". I didn't realize it referred to cost.

Not you.
>How is it relevant in this conversation?
If you cared it'd be obvious to you.
"Not caring" was cool last century.
