^So you would let someone just copy your car, that you bought for 20k+, for free?
Certainly. It doesn't cost me anything to allow someone else to use his/her own time and materials to make a copy of my car. Give it a few more decades, and with digital printing we'll all be doing it, providing politicians don't make it illegal. Open Source cars for everyone!
Of course you'd have no problem letting another consumer do it, because your the consumer! An individual looks after one thing and one thing only: himself. You've proved the theory too, stating that you don't want anyone using your time or materials.
But lets pretend for a second that your not a consumer and your the producer of these nice cars. Now lets say all of us consumers are stingy and don't feel like spending money any more, so lets say your entire target audience buys just 1 cars and makes "X" amount of copies for it so that everyone gets a free car. Would you still give us the same answer and be such a supporter of "open sourced cars"? Would you be happy knowing that your company is doomed to make, literally, no profits at all? Would your moral opinion towards how "rad" downloading free cars still be the same when you soon realise that you have no money in the bank and no food on the table?
