Piracy: Fiction as a Public Good

On Patricia Briggs’s site, her husband Mike has put up a great section about copyright and internet piracy. I can’t even read to the end because the arguments in blue (which represent the piracy viewpoints that he’s refuting) are so painful. Clearly, the people who are arguing the economic justification for piracy have never taken an economics course, or read Charles Wheelan’s wonderfully simple book Naked Economics.
