Well, let me try and explain. *Sigh*
Imagine X is running a bar on some isolated
island. X happens to have this great record and,
every night, people come to listen and to dance
to it. The other bars don't have this record.
Now, some day, the record is copied from X
(without him wanting to) and is made available
to everybody.
Now, has X's record still the same value? Or did
X lose something in the process? Remember, we're
talking economics here, not geek ideology.
