All right! Our first round of Anti-Fanfic Bingo went beautifully, and we have plans for your responses, but let's move on to the second row of the card:



How would you respond to these accusations? Just like last time, please tell ComRel!

I didn't read it as "stole the bulb from your streetlight"... but "I stood under it and used the light, and BLOCKED THAT LIGHT from reaching the sidewalk bwahaha, I have STOLEN YOUR LIGHT..."

(OTOH, someone was busted for "stealing" wireless internet from a library that didn't bother to turn it off at night... he parked in the parking lot and connected from there. I didn't hear whether he was convicted, nor on what charge he was held.)

Hee - I'm going to have to amend the above, aren't I? I meant 'stealing the light' in the classic economic meaning: street lighting is a public good. I can't stop anyone else from using that light, even if they haven't paid for it (through taxes, or by a fee on a private street). Neither does them using the light deplete it in any way: it is non-depletable and non-divisible.
