Not everyone agrees supermarkets should charge for groceries.


Most people do, since groceries are physical, rival goods to which natural property rights apply. But if it were possible to make copies of groceries while leaving the originals intact, far fewer people would argue against that on the same grounds. They might make other, unrelated arguments against copying, but moral principles applicable to physical property wouldn't be relevant.

It is interesting that the rebellion against consumer capitalism is more consumption.
