Is the replication of information a form of activism?

I see that a different, more thoughtful approach to the integer issue is being taken by Mark Lindner. However, since librarians replicate information more or less routinely, I can’t accept that it constitutes activism by definition. I do agree, however, that the question is well worth raising in the context of library activities, as does the group Information for Social Change, for example. (We do have a popular “community relations and advocacy” course here, but I’m not sure whether these are among the issues covered….)
