But surely not in the sense that capitalism cannot make use of them.  
That is, capitalism can make use of the public domain quite easily,  
and then deny the results of that usage to the public domain. In this  
way, the public domain is more compatible with capitalism than  
private property is, as private property must be paid for, reducing  
profit.
