No offense, but do you have a brain? So far, in your attempts to create examples for immaterial products, you've mentioned candy (a very material product, and one that's edible) and a house (which, uhh, is about as material as you can get, given that it's, you know, real estate). So far you haven't mentioned anything that deals with copyright, and everything that deals with the sale of goods because they are physical products. No, a house isn't copyrighted, but unless you pay for the materials and pay for the labor, you're not going to live there. An immaterial object is something that doesn't exist in the physical world. Ideas, music, thought, processes -- they're represented by other things in the physical world. They're not "Candy" or "house." derek -- eggytoast.com - eggtastic.com ------ catchy signature coming soon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
