   Then you'd both be wrong. There is nothing self-serving about:   
      
   1. Wanting a market free of government interventions, such as   
       state-granted and state-enforced monopolies.   
   2. Wanting goods to come from a competitive market, and to be   
       able to obtain any desired good for at or not much above   
       its marginal cost.   
   3. Wanting the freedom to build upon our shared culture   
       without fear of stupid lawsuits; culture itself is being   
       carved up into fenced-off fiefdoms by these corporate   
       bullies.
