I happen to believe, though, that any and all information you release to the public is de facto no longer under anyone's control. This is the natural state of things and cannot be stopped, so a global optimum can only be reached in acknowledging this fact. Instead we create legal and bureaucratic fictions to try to manage and eliminate it, which only serves to disrupt and not to protect at all. I view the status quo on this (from this image to copyright) as counterproductive.
