Pollution is not in the best interest of the majority of people. Property rights would give tens of millions of people the legal ability to protect their property. What you are proposing is sort of the opposite of that. A few, at the expense of the many, should be given free reign to find solutions. Effectively, you are justifying theft. This doesn't make for a very good free market. Perhaps a free market, based on property rights, would be a better way to solve problems like pollution. You have the interests of millions aligned instead of a few.
