How much is information really worth?

[Berethond]

And that is way to much for something everyone should be entitled too.

What?
How does that make sense?

OP, you're thinking of "information" as "real stuff that also exists in a digitized form".
Music, for example. It exists as a very real, concrete object. (Well, sound, but, whatever.)

It's not technically "information".

Wait concrete? Sound isn't even a form of matter let alone a solid. Kidding(well it's true but you know what I mean) What I ws saying is anyone can make music and listen to music, it's like freedom of expression and speech. So we shouldn't have to give up such large sums of money just to hear it.

Well duh anyone can make music.
So are you going to say everyone should get free paintings now?

No it's more fundamental than that. Music for many represents freedom. For example, all anyone needs to make music is their voice, and anyone can listen to someone else sing. There you have freedom of expression in a very basic form. doesn't it seem like a shame to you to charge people money for something that can be created so easily and should be an expression of somones freedom?

....
No, not really.
It's okay, I'm Neutral Evil, really.

Well I suppose it's an opinion thing.

It really depends on the information, and who it is important to.
For insatnce, I happen to have some pictures of your mom sleeping with the red spy, now how much would you pay for those?
