I can't believe people pay what they do for the iPad, talk about overpriced.

The biggest issue is that Yahoo / Bing isn't as good a search engine as Google is.

Stop equating creative output to tangible things. They are simply not the same. If somebody took your car, you couldn't drive drive it or use it or sell it any more. No one can take your creative output away from you, they can only make copies. Your argument is that could reduce your income, and that is quite possible, that does not make it theft though. I suppose it comes down to the concept of owning ideas - a concept I reject. You don't want anyone else to copy your ideas or content, do not release it, that is the only way you can ever actually achieve that.

Your argument that copyright infringement destroys all value is somewhat flawed. It certainly removes the artificial scarcity. It is not theft, but it can negatively impact a rights holder. Since I reject the concept that you can own intangible things, I must also reject the concept that it is theft. Actual things have real scarcity.

As I said, this says it all: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=145>
