While an idea is new (and I mean really new here) and its products still expensive, the activists don't really care.

If they don't get something at a price that suits their pocket, they demand that the government intervene. Too many examples - electricity for one, medicines, health insurance. Basically everything. Further, people don't understand that accepting the idea of "the commons" and the government control it represents means giving up something you morally own for nothing, and then having to beg for the right to use the same. PS: Good that you turned off snap shots. It creates more problems than it solves.
