(there is no physical product that is analogous to intellectual property)The simple existence of that possibility obviously interferes with the concepts of fair value and market value and has the potential of turning the whole "paying for music and books" thing into one giant honesty box. There really is nothing that is analogous to that.
That assumes that there is no difference between market value and fair value. The concept of fair value depends on limited markets and market value depends on nothing more than the demands of the market. If the market demands that what can be taken for nothing must be paid for then the market value is nothing more than that. Fair value, on the other hand, demands nothing other than that the limited market wish to pay.
Say, for instance, someone wanted a menu written in Italian.
It is a limited market and you, Giovanni, could charge like a wounded bull for such a service. So please stay away from a market driven model for creative endeavors.
I would, with the greatest respect, direct you to this article and its comments as a way of expanding my point.

However. When one is diversifying in a downturn and decides to deliver added value to a venture, employing professionals to design your web presence is preferable to DIY.
Three Horse Shoe Farm has a site offering such delights as a " complete set of heavy duty breast harness with a pre- oiled finish" for only £100.00.
You may also have a cup of tea and a lie down while the page loads. -

What, a cup of tea and a lie down?

I'm not sure there was ever that layer in the world of saddles or horseshoes was there?
Saddlery, Tack Shop, or should I say Tack Shoppe (not to be confused with "Tuck Shop" or Brownlee's Buffet and Bistro)
I thought the analogy was quite good. There is still quite a lot of work out there for the horsey types but not as much (when you take population growth into account) as there was before the invention of the Horseless Carriage, you will note the use or the word Horse in Horseless carriage, it means that a horse is not part of the conveyance, it is horseless, sans chevaux if you will.
That is not to say that all horses will be led screaming, nay neighing, to the glue factory but natural attrition through the passage of time would be ample to eradicate the surplus sufficiency of equine excess.
It may be said that those galloping guardians of gracious carriage would have desired the continuance of their labours to be passed down to a next generation of tremendous trotters towing tanks of tardy travellers toward desired destinations.
To embrace the pursuance of progress we must all, and that includes artists of all colours, creeds or formats, to encompass the concept of a continuance of their craft to include the complexity of a future unknown. A future committed to a commonality of consciousness a world wide web, if you will, of plagiarised publishing of poetry and prose with a paucity of profit for people of purpose.
Yes, people. It is not what we a re writing, it's how we are writing.

I'm no expert, but I always assumed that all sewer pipes were unpainted.
All except the painted ones, perhaps.
