Well intellectual goods started as a public ware. "Intellectual property" was a social invention taken place not even soo long ago (what are a few centuries after all?) to turn them into normal goods. And yes I agree technology is now on the way of moving it back into the public wares sector.
My conclusion was, it should be club wares. That would be a situation we could all be happy with.
