"Information wants to escape" might be less ambiguous.

Like water it seeks-out a hole through which to flow to freedom.

And the more valuable the information the more pressure it exerts upon people to make that hole for it.

This won't do it; this conveys the assumption that information can be owned. Much of the use of the phrase is based on the opposite idea.
