Exactly. As far as I can see aoiptodn of free software – hell, of open standards generally – is mostly just a great strategy for industries who are scared that proprietary standards are going to give their competitors a means of locking them out the market. The whole “it’s an attack on the principal of property” meme is just stupid. The only reason it gets a hearing is because it sounds good to lefties who like to imagine that they’re sticking it to the man by using Linux, and great to big businesses trying to protect their monopolies.

I’d suibmt that it’s impossible, nay, *nonsensical* to desire to be left alone while advocating the voluntary society. It’s interesting to point to the free market, which requires so many interactions between people, and then in the same breath ask all of those people to give you what you want and nothing more. Like it or not, the politics we’re interested in prefigures a *society*. Our task is social.What does it mean to be left alone? Where do your interests end and mine begin? Even if we can get clear, unambiguous answers about those issues, how do we assert them over the long run?You may think I’m simply bringing up freshman philosophy to play devil’s advocate, but I’m not. For too long, the individual has been treated as a universal constant in the body politic. It is not – it’s an arbitrary distinction that relies on the reciprocal apprehension of a society without which the individual has no meaning.If this strikes you as collectivist, so be it. I’ve never been convinced that collectivism and individualism were anything but two sides of the same coin. The question is not whether one will be sovereign over the other, but what the nature of either is, and how the definition of one side of the coin has consequences for the other side that cannot simply be dismissed with an appeal to being left alone.
