They don't make any money so why not throw the source and all out there so someone can get the benefit of it? Should make no economic difference to them. This reminds me of what some farmers did during the Depression: They couldn't get the prices they wanted for oranges so instead of giving them away to the poor or something, they covered them with creasoat and threw them into the river so nobody could benefit! Is that greed or what?!
