Perhaps the most compelling problems associated with intellectual property are the socio-economic implications.   As Michael Hart (founder of the Gutenberg Project - the Web's first and largest online library of free electronic books) stated, "When it is difficult to make copies, it is legal because only the rich can do it.  As soon as it becomes easy enough for the masses to have copies, it is made illegal!"  Some believe that intellectual property protection allows developed countries and the wealthy to control and limit dissemination of information and knowledge.  Presently, much new information is generated by governments and universities.  Countries like Australia and Great Britain copyright some of their information; the United States grants some of its rights to corporations who, in turn, sell it or use it create their own intellectual property.  Consequently, this information is available to, and often controlled by, those who can afford it economically.  It has been argued that information gathered through public funds should belong to the public.  University professors often use public monies to research and write academic articles, which are protected by intellectual property laws, and published in professional journals that reach a relatively small, exclusive audience, rather than the general public.
