Event Horizon and the Information Paradox

First, a disclaimer: This may sound correct or obvious, but if so, it is because that is the way I write.  Nothing should be taken as either factual or as representing the opinions of educated physicists.

This is another of my crank ideas.

So, the information paradox is the idea that black holes violate the conservation of information - information, particularly entropic information, is annilihation when matter enters into a black hole.

One solution for this is position that there is a shell of photons on the edge of the event horizon, forming a two dimensional shell storing all the entropic information.  The problem I see with this solution is that any change to the position or mass of the black hole would annilihate part or all of this information.

A simpler solution is to assume the information is ejected as a gravitational wave, whose exact shape and parameters reflect the incoming mass.
