>The thing that really changed my mind was realizing that the phrase "information wants to be free" just means "intellectual labor will be free."

That's one take. My alternative take is "humans will leak and speak of this knowledge (information) because it's interesting or important to them."

Your take implies free labor as a natural extension of this information liberty, but it does not need to be that way.
