Well, that is what is called civilization and culture. Not having to reinvent the wheel, but profiting from the knowledge created by others. Anyway, if you want to attach a minimum price to mental labor, you have to prohibit most hobbyist clubs. They share a lot of intellectual property below the cost of its creation, by mutual agreement. And actually, it would be a very nice idea if it was prohibited to; use energy resources below the cost of its creation: we are spending much more energy than our time produces, essentially burning the world's forests a thousand times over. If one would have to pay for the energy from coal the price that it would cost to grow the equivalent amount of trees, we'd have less climatic and environmental problems. _That_ would be an area worth of regulating. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
