Yeah, but then there is nothing that say I can't give you a kick if you
try. It's all a matter of convention in the end, but physical good are
limited, abstract ones are not, that's the whole difference.

If you take my CD I may object, if you just copy the data on it, I may
never notice.
If I give you a CD, I don't have it anymore.
If I give you an idea, I still have it and intact.
If you are deaf to my ideas it's your problem :)

And this is all for me, we are way OT.

Simo.
