A model of information ethics used to analyze intellectual property rights versus public access rights (Vaagan and Koehler, 2004/2005) is refined in two ways. First, the model is expanded to include new media which have become the primary information source for many in today’s globalized information society (Webster, 2004; Lievrouw and Livingstone, 2006). Second, since freedom of expression is a primary concern for a majority of new media users worldwide (BBC, 2010), there is a need to incorporate freedom of expression in the model for it to retain explanatory value in the emerging system of “mass self communication” (Castells, 2009).
