“the feedback to content producers
like writers, performers, programmers etc.,

is also pretty lousy”

cut out the middle men
let the creatrix

get the spondoolix

nano toll trolls uber alles

clearly this is about

non `commercially valuable' copyrights

its a re up annual fee

science journals news papers
book publishers

would cull obviously

since as a practical matter
only a `commercially valuable' copyright

if violated would be enforced

in the first instance

its the various electronic gated material confines

now with toll booths

given a carying cost

for each copy righted work

many present cost free inmates would be liberated

essentially
the owner of the right

now gets to keep his/her /their right

for 75 years for free

mayhaps an odd shot revival occurs

and

the damn thing becomes

`commercially valuable' again

repeat with glee
this applying of a carrying cost

will lead to massive sluffing

bravo
make the owners/horders pay

for protection

if it can't pay its fees
directly out of its own cash flow

then make it require

a spec charge

on a long shot possible revival of value

free access to all non fee paying written material

but only at an independent public authority portal

problem

externalities for profit

at any private portal

one might build

ads ala google

as bruce wild one points
there are rents for the reeping

at the two start/end points bridges

btw

the fee can replace time limits obviously

now lets set the optimal fee structure

don't you think
the full Edison dc electric generation and grid story

has a few too many ugly chapters in it

for such a glow coated version eh bruce ???

…
“Same logic applies to vacant, undeveloped land”

already taxed
but

while we're on

the rich man's grounds

lets tax his collections

hey

mark's proviso :
the right to authorize use

how can this not lead
to hidden payments

GPL type “public good clubs “

could receive exemptions

like schools do on real property

“How could an economic discussion of copyrights and IP be had without addressing efficiency?”

the true trade off —-claimed ——
is between

efficiency and creation

strict efficiency
would here

destroy the incentive to create

no one doubts for example
credit money production

at the margin cost near zero

and if we needed more

we could make as much as we want

yet we do carefully guide

it's sliding path

despite its entirely

artificial value

margin cost pricing can destroy markets

krug:
“think how much domestic infrastructure could have been built or repaired for the cost of this miserable war.”

this moth holed old banner needs retirement

why not is the only question worth asking here
and its the dirty truth hiding behind

keynes “sound busdiness practices”

what if the answer isn't
ignorance or bloody minedness

but this:

from a certain viewpoint
waste destruction and the like

is necessarily superior to construction

what if

the long run preservation

of the present system

sets production barriers

to its own performance

what if unfettered fiscal policy
induced

total productive employment

might threaten

a monstrous co relation
between hu cap vs head max households

god bless you

for actually examining the entrails

to data base packing

and econ con stat method

well

there's nothing like

in econometrics

i find the corporate empire compatible
—-if not 100 % congenial —-

result

enough of a refutation

transparent intentions

revealed sympotomatically

in the text

to me are everything

if they've blundered
by sheer coincidence

on some

non misleading fragment

of the whole truth

its a holy accident

nice uncle marty pranging

you hung him
by his own prior strung

rope a dope

piano wire

btw
what a sterile cuckoo he's become

since bush fils

bypassed

him…his fathers merlin no less

for the fed chair job

now he has to resort
to chasing and cheering on

the grim fads and gray fashions

of a wall street in mourning

imagine the clummery of it all…
no longer

the great boards in the towers

to sprinkle ivy league holy water

“paychecks rising across the country”

notice how easily he describes
the contrived recessions of 91 and 01

as deliberate gubmint acts of jobicide

“let em feel the scarcity boys “

reagan was right
at least as far as the wage doldrums

these last near 30 years

gubmint IS the problem
