One problem that I see, as a lifetime libertarian, is that "cri= minal" may mean no more than "what the government wants to ban" rather than= an actual victim crime. Worse, governments are powerfully motivated = to prevent developments that will someday likely destroy them.</span></div>=<br></div>I suggest that you study the analyses of Bob = Vroman http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.t= cl?msg_id=3D009ape" id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1442825109502_5754">http://www.green= spun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=3D009ape</a> , &n= bsp; http://www.mail-archive.com/cypherpunks-moderated@min= der.net/msg02068.html" id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1442825109502_6269">http://www.ma= il-archive.com/cypherpunks-moderated@minder.net/msg02068.html</a> &n= bsp; and of Bob Murphy, </span>www.anti-state.</span>com/murphy/</span>murphy17http://www.arijuels.com/" id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1442825109502_5046">h= ttp://www.arijuels.com/</a>) and Shi (runting@gmail.com</a>), and Ahmed Kosba akosba@cs.umd.edu</a> : I've f= ound a reference to your recent paper, http://www.initc3.org/publications.html" id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_144282= 5109502_5047">http://www.initc3.org/publications.html</a>.
