I know that ${Jordan Marsh:-your local department store} raises its price somewhat on each item sold to compensate itself for shoplifting. Is Jordan Marsh ripping me off when I buy a shirt there? Am I being ripped off when they install buzzer-gizmos to reduce shoplifting? In what way is commerce in software fundamentally different or fundamentally the same as the above? -- Bill Torcaso
