This is the same as if union plumbers tried to make handy-man services illegal, or if licensed psychologists tried to make self-help books illegal, or if salesmen tried to make Craig’s list illegal, or if burger king tried to make backyard flame broiling illegal. The Free-market will always find the most efficient path, the toll both of Government licensing and regulation has a by-pass. I despise those who refuse to innovate and increase their market value, but seek only to stay king of the hill by keeping others off the hill.
See my post above. I’m less interested in squashing the competition (competition is healthy) than in the fact that too often, people think they’ve done something according to law but they haven’t. That hurts them, the other parties to the transaction and the judicial system, which is taken up by people trying to enforce unenforceable documents.
