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...

Hello my friend. I write electronic music and publish it for free. I work to make a living, just like anyone else i guess. I don't think i could ever charge anyone to hear my music for two reasons A) I don't consider music a product and B) I get my reward when i see people party hard and enjoy themselves with my music.

 Do you think I could ever compete against professional producers with managers, contracts etc? For me most of those people are small dicked attention whores who consider themselves too importand to have a normal job or even associate with normal average people. And in the end of the day it's them who steal ideas from the real undergound, not the other way around.

 Music is nothing but a bunch of memes. There is no original artist(well, that's an overstatement actually). Art is a living evolving entity. Artists are nothing more than the cells of this organism.

Enjoy the recycled music the commercialization of art leads us to. (Both Thumbs Down)

If you are happy with this industry keep buying music, don't copy or share it and preferably only listen to it through headphones. You don't want other people to enjoy for free something you paid for;)

PS. Here's an original composer for the contrast:
