Thanks for the well-put and energetic sermon. Seriously, the hip contemporary anti-intellectual-property slogan ought to be "Other people's information wants to be mine for free," instead of just "information wants to be free."

Another, more abstract, reason to pay people for their ideas is that we'd want to see intelligence and inventiveness rewarded.
