One of the big dynamics of information I feel is still woefully under-specified is the fact that information aggregation results in power. In that light, you could imagine some framework where certain uses of public information that are inherently not aggregative are somehow legally and ethically distinct from those uses which involve aggregation. I have no idea if this distinction would be relevant for the purpose of a company enforcing use of their content, but I think on the side of data use itself, it certainly is a meaningful distinction.
