See how far you get, and how long you can survive on the money made.It IS NOT 'just information'. It also IS NOT 'just an idea'. Shooting off the phrase, or indeed paraphrasing it every so often, don't make it so.I have no idea whether you use that kind of perspective to justify greed and selfishness, but it's certainly not that uncommon for folks to do so. And yeah, that's where I've most often encountered that view: 'justified' greed and selfishness, hiding behind dated techno-newspeak. But like I said, that could of course most definitely not apply to you personally, and I'm completely willing to believe that, just to make that as clear as can be. It's just a particularly unfortunate fallacy, thanks to its most common context.</blockquote>
