Free flow of information?

Hey people. I'm starting this thread in relation to this:

 I think the flow of information is a MASSIVE issue that is not beeing discussed enough.

So, do you think the flow of information should be totaly unrestricted? Or do you believe there should be laws that protect people from malicious use.

Personaly I would like to see fully unrestricted flow of information one day, but i think that a sudden change in the way we currently manage it could be catastrophical. I believe an good order of abolishing restrictions would be to

a) abolish all copiright and intelectual property laws.
b) make all bank transactions available online
c) enforce transparency in bussinesses and states by forcing them to release all info they manage - including all their financial info.
d) allow some 20 years for the world to digest itself

Please feel free to attack my point of view and add your own. Scepticism is a bless...

>>14 I think i might be confusing you because i'm talking about two different things on the same post (theree actually if you invlude my reply to>>12). Freedom of technology and freedom of information such as to expose corruption. With the first i was replying to >>9 . The second part about the banks and greece is pretty much frustration i couldn't hold in. I should have left some more space between the two or put it two different posts.

Now,in respect to your reply (>>14). Yes, of course we could make any of the above items if we had the technology to do it. But we don't. This is the whole point. That restricting information such as technology seperates humans in 'enlighted' and 'not enlighted' and that even though we have the brains to match many 'clever' people, we can't. Instead we have to work in order to accuire the USE (not the production ,development and true understanding) of the technology. Isn't this another kind of slavery? One that comes from restricting and withholding info?

 So the point is: Where do you draw the line between what information (or technology if you like) should be public and what sould be private in order to protect the public from this technological 'slavery'.
