    No doubt a psycho like you wants to copyright the idea of Freedom or the Golden Rule, Sybil.

    You must be a Maria Carey fan since she wants to copyright the name "Queen of Christmas".

    True, but I'm more-so referring to tangible things.

    ...and can you share a CD that you don't have with someone else? That's what I'm getting at, and that's what Poor Richard Saunders is trying to say is possible to do.

    Yup. You get what I'm saying here. It's very straightforward.

    I cannot share a boat that I do not have with someone else. You and I cannot share a boat that neither of us has in our possession.

    That's the test, Sybil; to see who is strictly tangible and who can think abstractly.

    Let's say that I baked a cake from scratch. I own that cake. It is in my possession. It is mine. I can then "share" (IOW, gift a portion of it) to someone else. We both consume the cake and then it is gone. Gifting a portion of a cake to someone else is different than sharing a durable good such as a boat or a hammer with someone else.

    you can share a drink from your canteen,
    a bite of your entre,
    the air conditioning in your home or car,
    basically anything that is portionable.

    Right, but that misses the point I'm making with this thread.

    lets try this:

    you and I both work for JPP Carpentry Inc.

    we are supplied with all the tools necessary to do carpentry. The firm owns all this equipment but never uses it though the Prez could wander over and physically grasp any of it at will but he does share this equipment with you and I for us to use as needed to perform our duties.

    ... and with basically anything that is portionable and thus "shared", what you are really doing is gifting a portion of the whole to someone else. You're not sharing it (using it for a while and then returning it back to the other person so he can use it again) like you are doing with a boat or a hammer or a wood splitter.

    Yet, in the cases that you present here, someone still needs to first own and be in possession of what is being portioned to someone else. I need to own/possess a cake in order to "share" a bit of that cake with someone else. I need to first own/possess the water... I need to first own/possess the entre... I need to first own/possess the home/car. THAT'S the whole point. If I don't first own/possess any of those things, then I can't share any of those things with anyone else.

    None. Can you possess time? Can you share it with a loved one, Sybil?

    Okay.

    In this example, JPP Carpentry Inc. owns various carpentry tools. The firm is sharing their tools with their employees so that their employees can perform the work that the firm is asking them to perform. What Poor Richard Saunders is trying to claim is that, if an employee loses a particular tool of the firm's, then the firm and the employee are somehow still sharing that tool. I'm saying that the firm and the employee are no longer sharing that tool because that tool is no longer in the possession of either the firm or the employee.

    That's the whole point of this thread. Do you get what I'm saying now?
