    I don't think we're going to make much headway with the Iranians, period. What makes you think that rhetoric is what is keeping us from exerting pressure on them?

                No they didn't. If you have a herd of horses and loan me one to ride, it's sharing and that's OK. If I sneak into your corral and take the horse during the night, that's stealing.

                    Grif? I don't even know what that is.

                      Copyright and the patent system exist for good and desirable ends; without some kind of socialized means of rewarding those who innovate, innovation suffers underinvestment. However, these systems bring with them other losses (the monopolist price is higher than the marginal cost of production, so we cede the surplus available to all those who would consume the ideas at some point in between the two). Some degree of piracy may well be welfare-enhancing, if it reduces the deadweight loss without cannibalizing too much of the monopolist's rents (i.e. the incentive to innovate). The ideal system would provide innovators with exactly 100% of their marginal contribution, but this is difficult to accomplish (to say the least)...

                      What does this system provide innovators whos ideas don't pan out?

                          You have to be ****ing kidding me.

                          You can be very much anti-stealing and still realize the DMCA is a farce, a massive infringement on personal freedoms.

                          When the DMCA makes it illegal for you to back up YOUR OWN MEDIA that YOU PURCHASED, something is wrong.

                          You are clearly a supporter of big government.

                            It's actually because the DHS has widespread mandates that circumvent freedoms Americans are entitled to.

                                It most certainly does not. Not even close.
