		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Duncan,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem is that these guys don&#039;t understand property as something intangible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They see something as bits and bytes, and that, for them, is no property.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is a excerpt form Matrix I really love in these moments: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA3WGf9pX0A&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;What is real?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On free... I will not reduce it to a trend that it will go away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is a business model, with all the risks. The problem is how to make people value the plus for what you might be paid, when they are in the majority satisfied with the free?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its a problem of economic choice. And piracy is mainly a problem of market failures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its funny how they say patents are bad when patent databases are the biggest support to promote innovation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like that person said, they don&#039;t care until it hurts them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best,&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<div>The problem is that these guys don&#8217;t understand property as something intangible.</div>

<div>They see something as bits and bytes, and that, for them, is no property.</div>
