but, what is the importance of marginal costs?
the central point is that we have already make a huge inversion in
network technology, and we are paying costs for having it.
but
it will cost almost the same if we use it or not
for copying information or knowledge
so in the info society the marginal cost of info duplication is almost 0
so copied info have not economical price (and value). copied info is a
free good (as in economy and as in free software)
if you agree that marginal costs determine prices (that is a big if,
off course), but seems to be true in capitalist societies.
and if there are not artificial regulations like copyright
in fact there are only one country in the world with positive balance
in copyright (USA), England is neutral.
copyright is one of the principals mechanism of international
explotation in the present economy.
