      If the prices are set by democratic institutions the govt makes less "profit" than the competitive firm.

        Can you provide an example of such a communist institution?

          The list of published books grows. If you're curious to see what sort of stories I weave out, head to Amazon.com and do an author search for "Christopher Hartpence." Help support Candle'Bre, a game created by gamers FOR gamers. All proceeds from my published works go directly to the project.

            This is absolutely sickening. It is things like this that show that Capitalism is distroying itself. I just hope it replaced by employee control of businesses in a market economy, if we end up with a command economy we'll end up like the USSR (yes, I'm talking to you, Kid)...


            Anyway, the current copyright/trademark/patent system is so abused in today's high tech world that I think it is about time to scrap the current system and try to find another way to reward creatvity that isn't so easily abused by giant corporations trying to force out the little guys out of business.

              There isn't even a working theory for that.

Hell, where do you think the ideas for 4x, TBS, RTS, FPS, simulations, action games, sports games, trivia games, RPG, etc. came from? Aliens? Ancient Chinese?
                  That's interesting. Lumping together non-sequiturs to make a strawman.

                    It's not as interesting as your usual tactic of avoidance. Usually you just never post in the thread unless you have another opportunity to insert buzzwords.

                    Here, you have found an opportunity. Nice work.

                      Maybe you can provide an example of this, particularly about the "ungodly amounts of profits" part.

                        Soviet Russia's corruption in the communist party.

                          I don't have time to respond to every inane tripe you post.

                            Numbers and facts will be helpful.

                              Do you understand the concept of corruption?

                              You think they're documenting their exploits in nice, pretty ledgers out of fear of being audited?

                              Think...

                                Do you even know what that is? It's a mixture of central planning and markets. I don't believe it has anything to do with the employees doing whatever they like.
