Dave you have fragmented logic

"A bald statement by you that it can be sold only once before being copied.
Proven wrong in my previous post"

You didn't prove anything.

"From the post above..
"You buttress this outrageous piece of assumption by claiming that it is "human nature" for people to never pay for something they can get for free."

Isn't that why it is taken? Free or Pay. It isn't hard to figure out

Read this 50 times until you understand exactly what was said in the first instance before shooting from the lip

Again from the post above
You just rewrote human nature. Your excuses goes agaist all that is learned

I never once even hinted that I define "human nature" - instead I offered only evidence to fill in the desert of your argument. You really must learn to read instead of guess - your assumptions and prejudices destroy any semblance of proper argument."

Where are your debating skills? You cannot even talk straight. Yes you did when you said or implied that people will act in this utopian way. People are people. I would pay for something if it was offered legally for free. You nutz!

"Better MP3s will reduce sales of CDs. This will encourage swapping and low quality will discourage swapping. DRM will halt it

Not even the tiniest shred of evidence to back this up apart from your wishing it to be so."

You have no evidence that swapping files boosted sales either. But common sense says high quality MP3s for free will slow down CD sales. It is that human nature thing again.

"This quickly becomes boring.......but one last thing:
With your total disregard of property, you betcha. Steal anything of mine you go under the jail.
Your assumptions now become the height of absurdity........
I can assure you that I and My 80 employees have a firm grasp on the notion of property and the workings of the market."

Yes you are boring.
I do not think you have 80 employees working for you. This is a desperate attempt to look legitimate. And yes there are dishonest employers also. Doesn't mean a thing. You have seen the antics lately in the news.

"I suggest you leave the comfort of your cheerleading for the less abstract world of reality."

You should take your own advice. Patents are not going to be ignored any time soon. You guys must do your homework. Talk about ignoring reality.
