It won't be any of their business.  The phone company has no control
over my computer dialing your computer and trading bits.  I didn't say
there won't be money in wiring houses for data communications.  What I
said is that there won't be money in hoping that people will try
to get copies of your data only from _you_.

Perhaps I have a higher opinion of human nature than you.

It's trivial to influence the circumstances surrounding the first time
your data are received by a consumer.  The problem lies in influencing
the 2nd through nth times that your data are so received.
