		<description><![CDATA[&quot;...Haters gonna hate...&quot;

And discombobulators who try to distort, confuse and derail any sort of logic or conversation will discombobulate. And then of course they will decry how mean everyone is to their little innocent selves. That of course is disingenuous also.

Every thing you said was silly and nonsensical. You asked what would happen with no copyright and conveniently overlooked that such exist right now. When I informed you you then blamed people who could not make a profit when their product was free. Then when compared to air you equated it to something completely different a product in a multi atmosphere pressurized engineered container.

All I&#039;ve done is made it perfectly clear that your silliness is silly and to show where it is. Is that hate? I would much less direct if you would try not to keep trying to covering up errors with lies and obfuscation over and over. It makes you appear to be dishonest. I hate people who are consistently dishonest so I guess it is honest to call me a hater. You can&#039;t seem to help yourself. I see this frequently in people who are Jewish. It&#039;s glaring and annoying. No wonder Jews have been thrown out of every single country they&#039;ve ever been too in thousands of years. They either refuse to learn anything or they have some sort of nervous genetic twitch that doesn&#039;t allow them to be honest and straight forward.

&quot;Any people who have been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong&quot;

Is music a commodity? I suppose mediocre music is. They&#039;ve been using computers to compose europop music for a while now. We&#039;ll have to define creativity up.

Buy Bach. They&#039;re not writing any more of that stuff.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something occurred to me.

&quot;... The product became cheaper to put out as a direct result of the file sharing...&quot;

It happened to occur to me that music has now become like air. Like how hard is it to sell air? I mean mostly you just breath it in. Yes it true you may want a little special air every now and then. Say clean mountain air which people travel for or equipment to clear air, (which sorta doesn&#039;t count because it&#039;s not the actual air). So saying that the music industry is foolish for not making profits on music is liking blaming people for not being profitable &quot;air&quot; merchants. It&#039;s stupid. It&#039;s very stupid to do this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“And some innovation has regressed, like the social technologies that allowed safe, affordable, family-friendly housing to exist in proximity to good jobs.”

It’s true that the accountant ends up working for the golfer, but that doesn’t mean that the golfer doesn’t know the system better than the accountant — of course he does.

You must understand the underpunnings of the double-entry accounting system. It is very simple:

There are three Little Numbers: Assets, Liabilities, and Owners’ Equity.

Assets include real estate, credits, equipment, stocks, bonds, etc.

Liabilities include rents, debts, accounts payable, wages payable, etc.

Owners’ Equity is the latter subtracted from the former.

These three Little Numbers are boiled down to one Big Number:

ROI, the annual value thrown off by an asset, as a fraction of its sale price.

Understand this and you are equipped with the precursors to knowledge.

The knowledge is this: when the libertarians and the conservative establishmentarians talk about their divine moral duty to “maximize shareholder value”, what they are saying is that they are running a maximin utility function on all of society.

It is immensely profitable that there are no “safe, affordable, family-friendly houses in proximity to high-paying jobs”.

Firstly, high-paying jobs are a liability, usually the greatest liability that a corporate entity is obliged to sustain as a condition of its existence.

Secondly, high-paying jobs are a liability because if people are permitted to save enough resources, they exit the labor pool. The logical consequence of a nation of “independently wealthy” persons is an &lt;i&gt;economy&lt;/i&gt; of &lt;i&gt;shareholders&lt;/i&gt; unable to hire anyone to do anything.

For the same reason, there can never be any affordable housing. It’s called a “FIRE” economy for a reason. The banks hold all the houses and the workers hold all the mortgages. Coincidence?

A helpful rule of thumb is to ask the very simple question, “How is this making a small number of people filthy fucking rich?”

Usually to ask the question is to answer it.]]></description>
