Exactly. My point sort of the converse: that the upthread comment reflected a set of values that, while grounded in "cyberlibertarian" thought, do not reflect actual market value as measured by an actual market. The libertarians tend to think simultaneously that "The Right to Pursue my Niche Ideas" and "The Supremacy of the Market" are related concepts, and they emphatically aren't.
And in particular that the former tends to be the first thing stomped on by runaway market forces.
- pdonis 5mo ago> do not reflect actual market value as measured by an actual market. How does the fact that you can have your music in the cloud, and pay a fair price for that, and I can have my music locally on a USB stick, and pay a fair price for that, not reflect "actual market value as measured by an actual market"? As for the rest of your post, I'm not sure which "libertarians" you're talking about.
