"On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other." -Stewart Brand

The full quote is much more nuanced than just 'Info want be free!'

Yes you are right, but you still have to pick a side and I know that I what information to be free. All of it. So you can fight to keep it hidden or you can fight for it to be free. But by trying to hide it you have to know that by its nature it wants to be free and shared. the government relies on the levers influence over the individual be it financial, physical or other means to keep that info out of common knowledge. So you can decide to be part of the solution or part of the problem . The biggest problem people have with Cryptome is they see this in very black and white terms.
