It's a misquote in more than one way, because the original quote 
(Steward Brand, 1984) covers much more useful ground:

    On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because
    it's so valuable. The right information in the right place
    just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants
    to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting
    lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting
    against each other.
