Right to Public

One of the most striking queries Boyd introduces is if everyone should have the right to access a public expression just because it is available. Is a public expression only public to the temporal, geographic, and social public in which it is brought forth? Or should it be readily available to all? I guess the defining question here is how do we delineate different publics, and do all have the same rights to the same information? I am inclined personally to reply no, or at least it should be harder than a facile search and select.
