If you changed the word information to data, I'd agree with you. We cannot hope to build an economy on top of charging money for the following: "I am going to the pub with Dave tonight". That data string, once released is never coming back. But, assuming we are not yet living in a panopticon, you don't know which pub nor which Dave. If you really want that information my authoritative interpretation will cost you. This seemingly minor nitpick helps us towards designing a solution to Jaron's problem.
