Pirate Bay founder's new project shows the absurdity of giving value to copies
Here&#x27;s a crazy thought experiment. Instead of copying some music track, how about copying a dollar bill? What happens to the dollar bill?<p>Instead of sites that distribute torrent files, we&#x27;ll have sites that distribute blueprints on how to build a printer that can print out perfect copies of dollar bills. Totally not illegal!<p>Of course, in the same way that owning a music track makes me more likely to go out and buy said music track, owning a copied dollar bill makes me more likely to go out and actually work to earn a real dollar bill. So in a sense, the same way copying music helps the music industry, copying dollars helps the economy!<p>The logic makes perfect sense!
