Copywars in Kenya

In countries where there is no rule of law, the information trade gets bloody. Nonrivalrous goods, my eye.

A CD is a rivalrous good. The music on it is not. Implying that they are the same thing is intellectually dishonest.

Implying that in this instance the two are interestingly linked, though, isn't.

Is it just me, or is there a lot of background noise here? To the effect that arguments on these points cannot possibly be addressed on the merits, because of some tragic flaw in my character... overlooked, of course, on the occasions on which we agree. And this wasn't even an argument, just an interesting bit of news, with a little remark appended... Sigh.
