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...

Both A and B would be bad changes. A specifically was enacted to promote technological growth, a semester of college history will get you up to speed on why. B would be bad due to a sudden dependence on 100% computer based transactions, which suck. Im 24, so its not like im repping the oldschool flags. In person transactions make me feel safer because there is a strong, more affirmable, paper trail.

as for the rest, i can support that, especially D.
