Abstract
The supposed information paradox for black holes is based on the fundamental misunderstanding that black holes are usefully defined by event horizons. Understood in terms of locally defined trapping horizons, the paradox disappears: information will escape from an evaporating black hole. According to classical properties of trapping horizons, a general scenario is outlined whereby a black hole evaporates completely without singularity, event horizon or loss of energy or information.
