I guess I'll have to come to Giggleton's aid. The issue at hand is how do you economically deal with the situation where the total cost of a product is the inital design, with no cost for production. Capitalism is based on the method of amortizing the design costs over a long production run causing them to become a very small portion of the product's cost. This is an inherent problem of the digital world. The cost of production is zero. There is no way to amortize the design costs with production. It is the Model T of the Star Trek "replicators"...
