What are the goods for free?

FREE goods are goods that are easily accessible, without actual control of their availability, at low or non -existent consumer costs. Air is commonly used as an example. Everyone needs air, but it is also easy to obtain and there is no limit to consumption. Free goods can be produced in many ways and the definition can be a little slippery; For example, economists can claim that air is not a free good, as the company causes air quality costs such as a chimney filtering to reduce pollution. For example, a company that grows rice does for the rice itself, but also generates rice hulls that can be burn to generate energy or use composite materials such as a board. Waste products that the company would normally throw away can become free goods if they are valuable for consumers. For example, companies could throw away transport pallets that other people could use for construction projects or fuel. PRating is a web. More users can load the web simultaneously and use resources without being more expensive. The design of the site costs the same, whether it is used by 10 or 100 people. Access can be limited by restrictions on the server, but the site itself is still free.

Some other reproducible objects are technically free goods, but can be rare with legal protection. Books are an example. The book itself can be reproduced by an infinite number of times, but the author can develop copyright protection to control distribution and transfer it from free goods to rare.

In a rich company, free goods can be easily accessible. Among the waste products generated in the production of evaluates as websites and books of public domains and other sufficient resources, members of the company have access to many free products. Lack of resources is more common in less rich companies where, for exampleThe products are of value because companies have to get the maximum value of everything they do. In this example, the rice company would have to sell waste products rather than let them for anyone, who could collect and use himself.
