My pet peeve: "information wants to be free" just means the universe tends towards entropy. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, once information has been distributed it will take energy to "undistribute" it. Trying to extend this to "information wants to be encrypted" is both stupid and inaccurate - people want things to be encrypted, but the plaintext "wants to be free" as much as any other data.
