Information is definitely not free, my friend. In the long run, yes, the value of information is zero. Yesterday's trade secrets are tomorrow's old news. But in the short run it can be extremely valuable.
Think about Seagate's QA numbers, or their profit margins, or Amazon's official opinion on FIFO warehousing, etc. All "secret" and all fairly worthless if they were leaked. But as they stand that data are vital to their businesses.
