'information' is ...

EM Tunneling through a solid block of lead:

When this experiment was first shown to the scientific community by it's creator, the response from a "rival" scientist was, I paraphrase:

"Yes, you have sent energy faster than light. But Einstein only said information can't go faster than light."

The reply to this constructive criticism was the transmission of classical music at FTL.

This is what I can tell you about this experiment.

Now, you are correct that a single photon can contain 'information', however, we are not too good (yet) at modulating and demodulating quanta.
