Is private property justified in network societies?

Question

Anyone got any views on this?

P.S. by network society, I mean open source software, and social networks connected by technology, e.g. like YA or Facebook and MySpace.

Answer 1

Private Property creates value in any society.

The alternative is a race to the bottom as to use & value.

Look at Cuba, which owns all property.  Everyone lives in a slum.

Myspace & Facebook would never exist except for "private property" ownership and free competition.

Answer 2

I learned long ago that "respect" for what others consider their property is the way to gain access to that property and more that may be blessed to come that way.

Answer 3

how else to make money from it?
