Could you please explain this one to me? Are you saying that I have no right to demand payment from somebody who uses my product? Or as only being a privilege granted to me (by whom?), do I just have to accept it when it is deemed better for society if everyone gets to use it for free?


I believe the original poster was saying that corporations making a profit isn't a "right" guaranteed to them - in otherwords if they lose money it is up to them to do something to start making a profit or close the doors - the public has no intrinsic obligation to make them profitable.

In otherwords - if they aren't meeting a need of their customers at a price they are willing to pay that's their problem - not the customers.
