Don't see what's wrong with that either. If that is not what is desired for
the economy, then don't have the code magically deliver it. In terms of
economic transaction, it's clearly something so easy to do that there is no
associated cost with it--if there were, you'd likely see people doing it for
a premium.

That is also an economic transaction. :)
