I love capitalism... The art of more for me Nick :) What product do you ever buy where you are so limited... Does your lawnmower dictate that you can't use it on a certain type of grass otherwise they will sue you?
Does the Toro company say that you can't use your lawnmower to cut your neighbors lawn, because doing so will reduce lawnmower sales? Do they enlist Congress to pass the anti-mowing laws? Nope. It's fairly idiotic I think, because music and video is so throw away... When you buy a CD or DVD you are buying it for whatever use you want...whether its to listen to it once, or 5 million times... or like in my case, cause they make pretty stuff when shattered.. rather insane that there is any limitation other than reverse engineering or profiteering by reselling proximately the same product as your own with intent of defrauding or fooling people... that's common sense and shouldn't require a law... As far as the minimum versus maximum wage thing... You say that a minimum wage is necessary.. By definition the profiteers in that statement are telling you, if they could pay people in that bracket less they would... That illustrate capitalist greed/profiteering... and since we can't trust them to even pay people for their time and effort equitably, why should they be permitted to unjustly profit.. Thus a maximum wage should in my humble opinion be erected by the Congress..lawmakers and miscellaneous bums who come up with this silly legislative baloney. You said: "how can you limit the amount of money a person makes, that would be equal to limiting the value of a person or business" That is exactly what minimum wage is about. -paris -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:33 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: DOJ to swappers Law's not on your side - Tech News - CNET.com > it's not a matter of proving money loss.. its a matter of being > anti-competitive... its about abusing privileges to conduct in commerce.. > its about illegally controlling assets you bought.... > > Sure if someone sell a copy of something and makes money they should be > liable to buy/reimburse for every license... What are the assets you bought? You bought a CD, you don't own the content on the disc, you own a license to it, and are limited by the term you agreed to when you purchased it. > > -Any country that has a minimum wage should have a maximum wage. The people came together and asked congress to create that back when it was needed, and it still is, thought more research needs to be done into the living wage idea. There is no need for a maximum wage, how can you limit the amount of money a person makes, that would be equal to limiting the value of a person or business, that is just wrong. > > -paris ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
