So if I have, say, a machine that makes t-shirt more cost-effectively than my competitors, your claim is that I'm 'rent-seeking'? Do you think that because it's not innovative, or because I'm the only one with such a machine? (This is a trick question. Before you answer, please make sure you actually know what 'rent-seeking' means, because it's obvious that most other commenters don't.) |

The more efficient T-shirt machine produces more with less, therefore the overall resources available go up. Not rent-seeking.
Having a patent on the machine, and/or attempting to sabotage the creation of similar machines? Rent-seeking.
