A fee for everyone who uses the sun? Good luck with that, lady; I doubt you can get that through the public without protest. Even if she "owns" the sun, she has to realize that with great ownership comes great responsibility. =P

edit: wait a minute....

Can I claim ownership of the space surrounding the Sun? And then sue that woman for sending photons through my property?

Can I sue her when I get skin cancer or just a sunburn?
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Ahah... well I have some faith in the legal system that she won't ever get a penny from anyone for their "use" of the Sun. It's pretty radical that she thinks she could do it... like finding a loophole in a law automatically enables it to be manipulated for great wealth.

tbh i sincerely hope there will be some sort of legal bind to this ownership...
first of all she could hardly charge anyone for a ware that she keeps shining down on people involountarily all the time

but imagine the lawsuit me and ALL of the worlds skin-cancer victims are going to throat her with?
im pretty sure her product has not udnergone ANY thorough clinical trials or testing - further more she might even be subject to a few charges of assault vs all the people fainting/dying frmo the heat arround the world...

When the sun begins to collapse and turn into a red giant we can blame her and her ancestors, since it is her property and she is responsible for it.

Aight, she can have the sun, I take every other planet and moon, except for our moon. HELL, I take the rest of the universe as mine. You all owe me 1% of your income, for every other star, moon, and planet out there, and dont even get me started on the asterioids.

edit: everyone should just move to antartica or alaska so we only have to pay for the sun for half the year.

Obviously sensationalist bullshit, but it is a bit interesting to think about how we as humans have come up with the concept of ownership.

It reminds me of Tolstoy who wrote about horses that questions the logic that humans think they can own other creatures.

I think I follow Locke's logic, that you can only own something if you have created it, there are as many and as good to make it from, and you can use it. This woman (if she were real) would fail that philosophy on all three counts. If that woman built a house on the sun and lived there, she could own the property which that house sat, but as it is, she has no way of enforcing her ownership and no one would listen to her, certainly not people she is expecting to pay her.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

What is the statute of limitations on a class-action for melanoma and heatstroke. Its not that there is no law to file suit against the owner of the sun, its just that we at TL were the first to utilize it



Quoted for awesomeness. Would be awesome to check it out and fight her in court over that. Fight holes in the law with holes in other laws.

I am actually not even that surprised. Stranger things have been owned / pattented. For example it is possible for companies to own pattents on genes, and a lot of companies now actually hold these pattents.

There will be a problem though with determining what she means by people "using" the sun. For example can we really see the light being emited by the sun as still being part of the sun? If we were to answer that question by yes you would ahve to concider the following. The only reason people can see me is because of (at least during the day) sunlight bouncing of of me. So does that mean she also owns the image of my persona? In fact you would have to pay for EVERYTHING you look at during the day.

If I fill a bucket with water and splash it on you, can I collect money from you for "using" my water (assuming I drew it from my house, so I bought it and therefore own it)?
I doubt it.

If she throws photons at us, do we have to pay for it?
I doubt it.

If I splash said water on you, can you sue me if you got hurt/caught a cold in the process?
I think so.

If I get skin cancer from exposure to the sun, can I sue her?
I think so.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I find it funny that people think they can claim anything. Even Earth isn't ours.
I think esports is pretty nice.
