By the way, if you're going to continue to claim that this is just selling information, can you explain what selling access to the spot would be (in contrast to merely selling information)?
Let me ask you something. If I sold only information (I'm leaving a space on the 1100 block of Blah Blah St. in five minutes) and I charged someone for that insight, would that be a problem? How about if I call my neighbor and tell him I'm going to work so he can have my spot now in order to avoid a ticket? I remember my brother-in-law cooperating with his neighbors in this regard when he lived near Dupont Circle in Nortwest D.C. Is that a problem? Or am I breaking the law for talking to my neighbor because we're colluding to expropriate a public resource? Or is it only a problem if I hold the spot for money?
