What I never quite understand/know is where internet based services land. If I run a cloud based storage company / web design company or such, the servers are on my personal property and therefore should be considered allowed. Where does that start becoming non "personal."

It's like charging someone to park their ideas/data on my personal property. Which I imagine would be considered private property instead. Where is the nuanced line?

Anyone care to explain?

We're communicating using the fediverse. I can use my own private instance to connect, but in my case I am using a "collective" instance. While capitalism sees the Lemmy Blahaj as a "private enterprise", it is functionally more akin to a free associative collective where members can take their content with them.

I would say part of the confusion is because our technology has evolved in a capitalist context, collectivism isn't the default state of being so the solutions made cater towards (corporate) private ownership.
