and <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a> rights. He writes: </p> <dl><dd>Most of us think of homesteading unused resources in the old-fashioned sense of clearing a piece of unowned land and farming the soil. ... Suppose, for example, that an airport is established with a great deal of empty land around it. The airport exudes a noise level of, say, <span class="texhtml mvar" style="font-style:italic;">x</span> decibels, with the sound waves traveling over the empty land. A housing development then buys land near the airport. Some time later, the homeowners sue the airport for excessive noise interfering with the use and quiet enjoyment of the houses.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Excessive noise can be considered a form of aggression but in this case the airport has already homesteaded <span class="texhtml mvar" style="font-style:italic;">x</span> decibels worth of noise. By its prior claim, the airport now "owns the right" to emit <span class="texhtml mvar" style="font-style:italic;">x</span> decibels of noise in the surrounding area. In legal terms, we can then say that the airport, through homesteading, has earned an easement right to creating <span class="texhtml mvar" style="font-style:italic;">x</span> decibels of noise. This homesteaded easement is an example of the ancient legal concept of "<i>prescription</i>", in which a certain activity earns a prescriptive property right to the person engaging in the action.<sup id="cite_ref-Rothbard-1997_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rothbard-1997-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <p>Rothbard interpreted the physical extent to which a homesteading act establishes ownership in terms of the relevant "technological unit", which is the minimal amount necessary for the practical use of the resource.
