I noticed something very interesting in the recent messages.
Some of you pointed out the economic academic use of "good".
I am sorry to tell you that legal use of "good" is not the one of economic academic use.
If you think like the CEO of Nestlé, you consider drinking water as an economical asset while 1,5 billion persons have no access to it.
In a legal context, "goods" have many definitions but the generally admitted sense is "property right".
Property right divide "goods" in two categories : movables and real estate.
The latin lawyers who invented most of our legal framework have never conceived the poossibility to define an idea as property ; that doesn't mean they were total incompetents.
The first civil law was aimed at keeping a social balance.
Many economic theories do not care about balance as the "holy hand of market" is there (driving us straight into the wall).
Honestly, I trust more the good old legal principles than the "holy hand of market".
Of course electricty is tangible... you can feel it when you touch it, but nothing looks more like a bit than another bit.
I absolutely do not agree to those who "rifle" RMS saying his work is totally ignored. Anyone is free to tell it for him/her-self but please don't be so arrogant to talk in the name of "Pirate Parties all over the world".
If you believe human rights are BS, I am sorry to tell you that I joined the PP precisely because I considered the Pirate argument *is* about human rights.
A screwdriver is not really what I care for (except when I drive a screw), but a fair trial is a human right, dignity is a human right, being wealth is a human right,... and of course accessing "published works" for individual improvement and education is, in my opinion, a human right.
My moto is "no god, no master" so please don't talk in my name so rude. I'd appreciate it.
Regards,
