4. I've always found it somewhat humorous . . .
the so-called "debate" about intellectual property law on the internet, i.e., those libertarian-types who espouse "open source" versus those libertarian-types who love property per se and treat it as a deity, as well as those who haven't a clue but spit out their two cents regardless.

All in all, yes, it is about money and it is about property (as to who owns what and why) as opposed to the know-nothings that think everything that appears on the internet is innately free. But ask: would you want your house or car or what-ever used by whoever wants to use it and for as long as they want to use it? Oh. Indeed.
