Selling Meteorites is Illegal?

Miscellaneous General

Is there anything the government does not claim to own?

"

The ads are for chunks of meteorites, bits of asteroids that have fallen from the sky and are as prized by scientists as they are by collectors. As more meteorites have been discovered in recent years, interest in them has flourished and an illegal sales market has boomed — much to the dismay of the people who want to study them and the countries that consider them national treasures.

“It’s a black market,” said Ralph P. Harvey, a geologist at Case Western Reserve University who directs the federal search for meteorites in Antarctica. “It’s as organized as any drug trade and just as illegal.”"

You should also not harvest rainwater - that money belongs to the public and not you.

Shockingly, this is a law in some parts of the world.

Don’t post contact info LG. We’re not trying to instigate anything here.

What the hell, limitgov? Stuff like that is…you know…illegal and gets you into jail.

Have some sense of self-preservation, man. Or at least know that it makes this website look complicit.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the contact details had been added later, so that’s why I responded now.

can I at least post his public page on the public university website?

You can get a permit now to collect rain water, tho it used to be outright illegal.

Correct me if I’m wrong tho, but wasn’t it illegal because you were “stealing” from the “people” (Ie, companies) that owned the water rights to the rivers? Similar to Bechtel and the privatization of water in Bolivia?

iLL defined property rights logically leads to iLL defended property rights.
