OK, this guy is at it again. From apparently the same author as “Penguin Suicide Bombers” comes a piece about how FOSS eventually hurts knowledge creation and creativity. Seems counterintuitive.
Freedom From Intellingence
The Real Meaning of “Free Software”

Is there a valid point in there somewhere? The one that comes to mind for me is newspapers.

Seems like a similar argument is being made here but for all authors, artists and other creative folk.
