I was talking about "scarcity" in the economic sense of the world. For the application of economics, anything that is not truly infinite is scarce. Either way though, the very nature of ideas is that they can be copied infinitely without the permission of the original author. That is not the

Look, I have very little money, and quite frankly, it cost me little more than $1.5 each to get a copy of the NIV and Good News Bible. It is probable that it would be a bit more in the US, but the reality is that to buy the bible is dirt cheap. And if you can afford it, get one, and buy one for
