You take an example of people stealing a product and giving it away as evidence of the free market at work? wtf?
Most of the "free" stuff on the internet is paid for by advertising (which you pay for when you buy products) or serves as a loss leader.
- kiba 16y agoYou take an example of people stealing a product and giving it away as evidence of the free market at work? wtf? Copyright is a monopoly right, not property right. People don't steal, they crack and make copies. This is somewhat analogous to me making a bunch of Honda cloning after reverse engineering one. I am not depriving of the car dealership their cars, only made cars exactly like honda more abundant. Maybe you think people stealing away your profit is unethical, but it doesn't matter to economic forces. You will lose trying to defend yourself from massive piracy. Most of the "free" stuff on the internet is paid for by advertising (which you pay for when you buy products) or serves as a loss leader. You don't pay for it. You are the product.
