If you give me unlimited tax payer money I can make a nice car as well. Also, people without a Tesla paying for people with a Tesla, just like people without a mortgage are subsidizing the people with a mortgage.

Tesla did not make a profit for its first 10 years or so. Tesla was completely living of of carboncredits given to them for free and being sold to other companies. Also, electrical driving was/is heavily incentivised and subsidized for the consumer. Tesla in a free market was DOA. By the way, similar thing is happening to SpaceX right now.

Wildly succesfull due to state intervention, yes. Not because the companies in itself would actually produce anything a consumer would like to pay for at the actual price it needs to be priced at for the company to be profitable. Parasitic, rent seeking behaviour...

Again, well written! I do see the stock prices rise initially due to hype and fomo.

- Maybe the closest thing to represent the idea of music are musical notes, but I agree that the implementation of it could still be more diverse than other ideas that could be described amd sharded. - It depends on the motive for making music. If it's only done to make money, I think you are right. However, if it's done to express your intrinsic creativity, itch your own scratch or establish your talents for a greater public, I doubt if you would stop even if it has costs associated to it. Many artists these days (writers/musicians/painters, etc) establish themselves through their craft and monetize it indirectly through concerts/workshops/public speaking, etc. - A good concrete analogous example are open source software developers. Or, imagine the inventor of fire/wheel/electricity/etc to artificially restrict its access... - Lastly, I personally think it's a good thing to support and I am willing to pay creative, productive people and great implementations of ideas...

Agreed! That doesn't invalidate my points though...

I support and appreciate it. Information should flow freely. Music is information. You can't own it, thus it can't be stolen. IP is bullshit and is holding humanity back in general. Ideas need to be shared. Music is an idea

If so, I would actually use it

Topological identical

Seems a real photo to me
