Free flow of information?

Hey people. I'm starting this thread in relation to this:
http://dis.4chan.org/read/newpol/1293992141/1-40

 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...

companies are considered 'legal persons' and share the same rights like you and me.
That's obviously bullshit. The problem isn't corporate personhood, but rather, lack of restrictions lacking their power. Corporations need to be recognized as "people", to a certain extent, so that they can enter into contracts, etc. And thankfully, corporations can't vote, though Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010).
