NPR Intern Gets an Earful After Blogging About 11,000 Songs

I'm no economist, but AFAIK market forces are defined by the way people buy/sell goods.

Your analogy fails to draw a parallel since you have only one side, the seller. Also, you're talking about reselling here, where the main debate is the sharing of music.

However I fail to realize where you deny this is "the market". Consumers are making their demands known by pursuing alternative ways of obtaining a good. Seems pretty market-y to me, regardless of the means.

I'm not sure how this responds to my comment, since reselling books I scan from the library seems perfectly analogous to the market you propose.

There is a clear disconnect to both of our interpretations of each other's comments. Please see my response to the other comment in this thread.

I'll read and respond to that comment, but I'd like to reiterate that the comment you made immediately above the one I'm responding to is nonresponsive. The analogy I've provided, of pirating and reselling books from the library, is in fact perfectly analogous to the issue we're discussing.
