Intellectual Property
Thursday, December 29th, 2011Author Tex Norton As I see it, this is yet another “Bastiat Moment.” All complainers-to-date describe “that which is seen.” None seem to have considered “that which is NOT seen.” They seem to think it’s their “right” to download music without paying for that music. They seem to think they have the right to benefit from [...]
