<p>asleeacn - I think the problem here is that you don’t understand the nature of capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system based on free trade and the protection of Man’s rights (including property rights). The government preventing pirated goods from being sold is <em>not</em> interference in the economy. Piraters are <em>criminals</em> who have violated the rights of those they stole from. Preventing criminals from looting their victims falls well within the government’s sole purpose - which is protecting man’s rights. Do you think capitalism is some sort of a “grab as much as you can before the next guy” operation? If so, you are sorely mistaken. Capitalism cannot exist under anarchy - the two are mutually incompatible.</p>
