So by that level of thinking paying 20k for a chunk of metal fashioned into a car is unreasonable?
When we have Star Trek style replicators that can instantly materialize an endless number of perfect car copies for essentially no cost, then yes it will be.
Unlike data the scarcity of automobiles is not artificial. You need materials, engineering, and labor to make each car.
In summary, you're an idiot and you will remain an idiot for as long as you talk about things you clearly don't understand. That's what idiots do.

Star Trek replicators actually consume an immense amount of energy. They're not "free." They just happened to have conveniently solved that problem with matter/antimatter reactors to power them.
Yeah but does it work on Linux? (Score:-1, Troll)
Didn't think so, therefore I'm not interested. Linux defines who I am.

If refusing to pay for a sequence of bits is considered cheap, then yes, by all means, call me cheap.
