    It’s public domain you are taking something public ie without a monetary value and creating a commodity out of it.

    Do businesses have the right to dump toxic sludge into the river, after all its public domain.

    I think there is something to be said about private water bottling being a service access issue. But that doesn’t mean the bottlers are good, it’s a parasitic service that involves making money without doing anything.
