Mike if you give everything way, how do expect to make in money in the lucrative "Your my parents, you have to support me" market. I mean if you are giving it away don't you value your work?
I thought I was on TechDirt's web site, but somehow landed on the FBI's website. It must be the FBI's website because there's is the FBI logo, and only the FBI could have the FBI logo on their website.
When leading a financial class at church, I gave the example of a lady who found jeans at local discount stores and was able to sale them online to people who were willing to pay more.
Thinking I had inspired the group to think creatively about ways to make some extra money, one of the students piped up
"I don't think that is right or ethical to buy something for less and sell it for more" I promptly reminded her that she worked for Wal-Mart and that is exactly their business model.
She couldn't see the intangibles that she/Wal-mart or the online jean lady were offering. Just like this columnist can't see the intangibles the lemonade girls were receiving.
Hasn't Youtube already made deals with some Record Lables
I thought YouTube was using their identification software to allow labels to find their music on youtube videos and take a cut of the ad revenue and itunes/amazon sells?
"First, patents don't prevent competitors from developing competing products. A patent only protects one product. Others are always free to develop better mousetraps and sell them at lower prices."
Unless your patent of for the capturing and killing of mice. For example Tivo's patent for DVR if it stands, will give it a monopoly in that space. Or if your patent covers obviousness like using a touch screen to unlock a phone.
Overly broad and overly obvious patents are purposely designed to drive away competition.
"Second, to the extent that patents do enable a patentee to monopolize the supply chain and customers for his particular product offering, they have a cost reducing impact on that product, not a cost increasing impact, because they allow the patentee to achieve greater economies of scale in manufacturing."
In you 1st point you praise power of competition, and in your 2nd point you praise the power of monopolies. Which is it?
The 'economies of scale' argument can be and has been used to defend all monopolies. EoS is only 1/2 of the picture. A company is not going to look for EoS unless they have effective competition. Without competition there is no incentive to grow EoS because you already have 100% of the market.
