If there were no copyright nobody would have any reason to market software or much else for that matter. I would predict that much of the technology and infrastructure we have now wouldn't exist. It would also stiffle creativity and new methodologies because there would be no profit in it to recoup development costs. Those who would survive in such a market would be the 800-lb gorillas because only they would have the resources to squash the smaller companies.

Re: Feds Approve Bank to Certify Digital Signatures

I'm not sure it is unfortunate that they'll be offering escrow. If its a complete flop, then we'll be able to point to the complete failure of the released system.

Oh yeah... Software development is a long way from selling software, not the same animal at all. I mean when I go down to the dozen computer stores within a mile or so of my house I am truly deluged by software from countries outside of the US and Canada. I mean we have all heard of the Indian and Bulgarian software billionares haven't we? And all those folks in Turkey just rolling in cash... Further, who do the majority of these folks who actualy make a reasonable living work for either directly or under contract? Large US and Eurpean countries thats who. That's why those folks can make a living developing (not selling) software. > > Free markets monopolize. > Hmm... There's no copyright on perfumes. There are market leaders in perfumes, > but no monopoly; hardly even an olygopoly. I can tell how often you buy perfume, the ones I buy for my girlfriend certainly have a little 'c' on them... And as to the number of companies that are actualy developing perfume versus reselling it under their own house brands...there might be a couple dozen succesful (say stay in business more than 5 years) in the whole world and I would go so far as to hypothesize that if one were motivated to plot the number of companies per year over the last say 50 years you would see the number go *down*. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

"The Internet needs a chastity chip." ---James Traficant, Dem-Ohio
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/980206/wired/stories/cybersex_1.html Friday February 6 10:07 AM EST Lawmaker warns of cybersex "pregnancy danger" WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Citing the case of a woman who claims she got pregnant from e-mail, an Ohio Democrat called Wednesday for a "chastity chip" for the Internet. Rep. James Traficant, known for his flamboyant rhetoric, gave a brief floor speech about a woman named Frances who claimed to have gotten pregnant through an e-mail exchange with a paramour 1,500 miles away. "That's right -- pregnant," the Congressman proclaimed, warning of the dangers of "immaculate reception." He called on Congress to go beyond "v-chips" that would protect kids from sexual content on the Internet, saying: "Its time for Congress to act. The computers do not need a v-chip. The Internet needs a chastity chip." Although Traficant did not say whether he believed the woman's account, he did say it was "enough to crash your hard drive." ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu Lewinsky for President '2012

Free-market monopolization features...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, This is the theory in its current working version: An unregulated (free-market) economy will inherently monopolize when, but not necessarily only if, the following are present: - the market is saturated, in other words the number of consumers at any given time are equal to or less than the service providers ability to provide that service (or resource). This means the long-term survival of firms is a function of retained market share and raw resource share control/ownership. - the technology and/or start-up costs are high in material and intellectual factors. This minimizes the potential for new providers to start up. Providers will also require non-disclosure and other mechanisms to reduce sharing of information and cross-communications except under controlled conditions. Expect an increase in certifications and implimentation standards required to do business with the more succesful of these providers. - an individual or small group of service providers have a small but distinct efficiency advantage in technology, manufacturing, or marketing. Over a long-enough time this market advantage will grow and as a result widen the 'technology gap' between firms. - expect the most efficient firms to share their profit with the critical intellectual contributors. This further reduces the problem of cross-communication and new provider start-up. - expect to see the more successful providers to join in co-ops with the less succesful providers. This will be under the surreptitous goal of 'developing technology'. It's actual goal will be to cause these smaller firms to commit resources to such enterprises. As soon as it is strategicaly advantagous the primary providers will break-off the co-op. This has the effect of further reducing the ability of the smaller providers to react in a timely manner to market changes or develop new technology due to resource starvation. - expect to see the less efficient providers to combine in an effort to reap the benefits of shared market share and resources. Unless this partnering provides a more efficient model and there is sufficient time for that efficiency to develop these new providers will eventualy fail or be joined with other providers. - expect to see the primary provider buy those less efficient providers that don't fail completely. These purchases will be as a result of some new or unexpected technology that will significantly increase the market share of the primary provider -or- it will be with the goal of eliminating this secondary technology and forcing those market shares to do without or use the primary providers technology. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
