I'm not on giggleton's side or anyone elses. I was reviewing the earlier comments and adding my own commentary. Plus, we may have a public domain, but copying is still seen as bad in any case, because we are supposed to contribute something unique. Another point that i did not make explicit was that our views on things such as intellectual property are not shared by the vast majority of the world, and imposing those views on other peoples, which western countries have been hellbent on doing for the last thirty years, will be costly and counterproductive.
