Crowd Sourcing and Wikipedia/Copyright

I don’t think there is anything wrong with crowd sourcing or Wikipedia. I agree with Richard Stallman in which I believe that information is most productive when it is freely shared and circulated. In a capitalist society, I understand why we put restrictions on information, music, etc., (besides copyright and plagiarism) to create competition in which one has to obtain permission to have said information. However, I feel as though all knowledge should be widely circulated. I believe everyone should have the right to endless or as much knowledge that we know of. The restriction of knowledge seems like an infringement on my human rights, but that’s just me.
