At least the skyscraper owner can claim to have "homesteaded" the support function of the ground beneath him, whereas it would be difficult for the solar panel owner to claim that he has homesteaded photons that haven't (yet) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968441656658845395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-72460763090509966362017-02-02T09:15:08.303-05:002017-02-02T09:15:08.303-05:00The view is certainly homesteaded and its obstruct...The view is certainly homesteaded and its obstruction would need to be purchased from the owner.
