If nobody ever takes it out of the bank again it doesn't impact the value of money at all. If they do and use it to buy things your analogy fails as that equates to selling the copies.
It is different in the way that you actually have an option. Unless you'd rather be guaranteed to die of whatever you needed the MRI for if you don't have the money.
If you're going to mention GMO (and want to ignore all other risks) you might want to consider one thing: Cross-pollination is very likely to wipe out our non-GMO crops, and then we will have the great benefit of 100% dependence on the companies producing these "use twice" seeds. How kind of them to let the plants pollinate once before suicide-gene kicks in. And everyone knows that monopolies never jack up their prices, right?
I think it is rather that you don't understand. Companies do care if their revenue drops for any reason because their business is there to generate revenue. It's usually at that point that those who can blame copyright-infringement do, rather than face the real issues (poor product/high price/punishing your customers) that plague their revenue stream.
And nobody is -taking- the cd you refer to. By your logic I should have to pay to listen to a friend's music in their home...
Also, throwing insults at those who disagree with you doesn't magically transform your viewpoints into facts.
In what way was it evil of Google to make a site with.cn domain follow chinese law? Unlike Yahoo and the rest of the pack they didn't actually change their.com site based on whether the user was accessing it from china.
If you want to complain about cooperation with the chinese government you should complain about Yahoo handing out email details so their government can arrest dissidents.
About related rant: For the message indicator light, get a Siemens phone with Dynamic Light. (I guess second-hand since Siemens no longer makes mobiles... )
And is there a reason that CEO can't live comfortably with 100K instead?
Does he have some form of god-power that entitles him to make 10x the amount he expects others to be satisfied with? Most of these people also get rewarded even if they run the company into the ground and have to be removed. ( Some even use that as an exit-strategy, and miraculously get hired as an advisor/consultant/whatever at another company run by their buddies )

I think that would be covered by actual trademarks. Just trademark the shape and names.
Hate to reply to my own post, but that analogy actually fails anyway unless they all put it in bank deposit boxes, otherwise they earn interest.

Not quite true.. but the spyware was optional rather than mandatory. http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/08/02/p arasite_capital/index.html
