I believe it has value because it puts a question to the nature of the Internet as we now use it. As it is being more and more regulated, where do we draw the line on who we can exclude? How far does that exclusion go?
Ideally everybody should always be allowed access. The Internet is a machine for sharing information, after all, and that is a liberty. Yet current intellectual property-oriented lawmakers implement all kinds of weird half-functional rule to it, changing it.
That, and also taking a look at the Internet as a religion is quite entertaining. He is echoing the splits such as those of the catholic church, early christianity, zoroastrian religions, etcetera.
I found it very good to read about something I never question and love through the eyes of an outsider.
