If I do nothing more than inform you that the water of the ocean is available to you for 1 cent each thousand gallons payable to me, then I have added something of value to that gallon of water with that simple notification.
If you decide not to take advantage of my generous offer, well then I will have to petition a British Court to put out a warning so you can't just take it and not pay me.
If however both you and the Court don't pay any attention to me, I am just out of luck. The Somalia pirates are like that too.
