		<description>Hi, 
 
ever wondered how to get better Amazon deals or how to get that 30-day refund from Amazon? 
 
We discovered a gret service which tracks prices for you and alerts youl.

		<description>Many of these arguments are relying on the assumption that the market is perfectly efficient in order to assert that the price will settle on the point where the supply and demand curves intersect.  However, in most countries, the markets are deliberately made inneficient by copyright law.

On the other hand, if the marginal cost of producing a single copy of a work is only some CPU time, the bandwidth to copy the work (plus some management overhead), and some storage (hard drive) space, one can prove that a P2P system where each user uploads slightly more than s/he downloads (and provides the necessary CPU power) is an ideal solution in a hypothetically perfectly efficient market and that such a market would tend toward such a solution or an equivalent solution where leachers pay producers a value equal to the cost of the bandwidth, CPU time, and amortized cost of storage that leachers aren't providing to the system.  Once again note that this idealized efficient market is devoid of copyright law.  Once governments start introducing deliberate inefficiencies in a market, the analysis becomes more complicated. 

Also, many of you are making very strong assumptions about the shape of the supply and demand curves without justification, and perhaps without realizing it.  It's hard to argue that the demand won't approach infite as price approaches zero.  However, you need to be much more precise about how you're defining supply in your arguments.</description>

		<description>An alternative thought on the "supply/demand" content debate. Supply of content on the web is 'technically' infinite, but most people have limited time to go find it. 

Sites that package content in time-saving, convenient way's can either aggregate for Ad dollars, or charge a small , time-pressured user base.</description>

		<description>I'd be interested to know which strawmen you think I set up and why you thought that my arguments weren't valid. For what's it worth, I think that Mike more than held his own so it's hard for me to accept that I was "talking at him".

As you can tell from my comments, I do believe that paid content has a place on the web, but we're certainly not in the business of shoving it down anyone's throat. I am a firm believer that there will be more and higher quality content on the web once better monetization schemes are in place. I'm really looking forward to this personally since there's tons of content that I would like to have, even if I have to pay for it, which simply isn't available right now. </description>

		<description>You talked at Mr. Masnick, and not with him.  You're repeatedly setting up straw men and knocking them down.

I'm really fascinated by the idea of your product, but if it ever asks for my credit card number during normal use, or restricts my uses of itself in order to funnel me into pay content, it will be uninstalled within seconds.  In addition, if it was a good product otherwise, 18 different open source projects will be created with all of the advantages and none of the disadvantages.  Five of those products will survive, three will be very stable, and one will be higher quality than yours.</description>
