neblis,

there is a difference between economic scarcity and scarcity in as it is used commonly.

a jimi hendrix song may be "scarce" in terms of being rare but it is not scarce in the economic sense of the word.

No. In fact, they completely agree. Their efforts are attempts to artificially *create* scarcity for intellectual property.

As do I and many other creators of scarce ideas. I agree whole heatedly that a goverment solution is substandard at best but ideas can in fact be scarce.

You keep saying this, but you haven't deomonstrated it. Please give us an example of a scarce idea.
