Let everyone pirate our software until there are 10 million people out there that knows how to use it. Can spread by word of mouth the benefits and do the marketing for us. Pretty soon we have a standard product while all those Lotus and VisiCalc that are trying to sell their stuff go out of business. Bu then -and only then- you can extract the profits. We have Office 97 and sent a document produced created with it to our client, that had Office 2000. And then there is a chart or drawing or whatever that it will not appear or print and our client gets pissed with us. So we go and buy an upgrade for Office 2.000. There is no contradiction here so far. The problem with economics is that it is a province of Austrians and Scotsmen. Because of those countries' limited resources the theory of economics are based on scarcity. Now that we have economies that do not depend on mass, (limited) but on knowledge (plenty) it can't apply. You must be kidding. You say that economics do not matter any more, Americans have no idea about economics and that Scotsman and Austrians are the smartest people in world (who knows?). So now we have explained the stock market bubble...
