Yeah, it's just arbitrage. They're just profiting from the difference between the cost of the item and what people are willing to pay for an item. Simple market economics, right? As should be obvious: Since it can be explained b

Or they just hire other people to move tickets around. It works at a small scale: 5 people, 5 tickets each, and $100 profit on each seat after everyone else gets paid? That's not so hard to keep track of, and it brings in $2,500. It

It would indeed be cool to deter that kind of stuff; I agree. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And I think it's fair to say that deterrence works similarly to prevention, in this context. How does the presence of Flock

If I correctly understand what you're suggesting, then that could save on uplink bandwidth. Sending one copy into space, and then sending it back down over and over again sounds nice. But does it solve a problem that we actually have?

Do you happen to live in an area where cell towers broadcast their location? (Here in the States, they don't do that. The best we get to have are crowd-sourced maps that are generally held behind someone else's lock and key.)

Long-term tax-breaks for something like a factory, which will ideally employ hundreds or thousands of people for a very long time? That can make sense. There's a lasting, local benefit, and that benefit can stand some encouragement.
