It's still not in the Mises archive.

Anyway,

I set up a torrent so people can download all the videos. The format is 640x480 MP4 and should work on iPhone and other devices.

One issue this series has on Youtube is that it doesn't play totally fluently, in that it lags/twitches every 10 seconds or so. It's due to a problem with the codec/Youtube/who-knows-what. These MP4s don't have that and are therefore easier to watch in my opinion (a lot of people won't notice, but I do).

I also included three files from DiLorenzo that I link on my Austrian Economics page. The audio-problems that the Mises WMVs have are fixed in these.

Maybe some people could help seed? It's 9GB total.

I talked to Chad Perish and he says they've been busy but that he'll try to get the audio in the Media Archive and on iTunes by next week. And then they'll post about it on the blog.

I updated my Youtube channel today to make it conform with the new looks of my website.

Thanks so much for putting this up, it was so annoying to reach the time limit watching those on megavideo.

Yeah, I agree with that obviously, but I think the question was for a justification about why property should be permanent. What I'm saying is that when you don't currently use your property, you don't abandon in it so to speak but you still keep on using it in an indirect sense. Only if you stop using it in that indirect sense (meaning you give it away) will it be acceptable for anyone else to use it.

Yep. It's like Block's example about what constitutes abandonment (children rights, positive obligations, abandonment paper). i.e if you throw your jumper in the closet, never intending to use it again - you can hardly say you've abandoned it.

This is from the 2010 ASC which I found interesting - Use It or Lose It: Extensions to Lockean Homesteading Theory.

I think what constitutes practical abandonment (not just intentional) also has to do with the context. If there is plenty of land to go around then if you're leaving a piece of land barren for two years, then a next guy can still easily move to the next plot of never-before used land. But when land is very scarce and you're leaving a piece of land barren for two years when there are people who have capital and opportunity to make use of it, then I think your claim is quite diminished. I think in such a case if the previous owner is not willing to sell it then someone else may not lose his reputation if he forcibly takes it over (i.e. basically regards it as a state-of-nature again). The scarcity raises the price of the property whereas not selling it yet still doing nothing with it raises the possibility of losing it. Those two things combined would make things work in a voluntary society, I think.

Private contracting and private ratings (reputation) services are integral to all this.

The same principles and mechanisms would apply to parks versus development.

Any thoughts?

Well the obvious one is - it is your property and although it is not being currently "used" in a direct sense, the same could be said for "demand deposit" savings. Essentially, if it's not being directly used - so what?

The more useful argument in this case, I think then is the reductio absurdum.

"You're not currently using your car? Cool. It's mine now." etc....

In the last video, Hoppe is asked about a moral justification for why currently unused items should not be available to everyone meaning when someone is not using a couch, why should it be forbidding for other people to make use of it. He responds by pointing out the absurdities it would lead to without giving any actual moral reason. What I thought of is that even when you are not actually making use of a couch, you are still "using" it in that it satisfies your need to be able to sit down on that couch whenever you want. The same with food you are not eating. The food is not unused, but rather the fact that it exists and is yours means its use for you is to satisfy your current desire to be able to eat in the future when you get hungry again.

Any thoughts?

Nielsio, thanks again for posting these. #6 by Hoppe is exactly what I was looking for (a clear explanation of methodology). I can hardly wait to watch all of the others. I wonder if these will get posted under Mises Media.
