In conclusion, while the alleged intention behind intellectual property laws may be to foster innovation, their practical effect is often to hinder it. The right to innovate—to freely explore, develop, and share new ideas—is fundamental to human progress and should not be unduly restricted by overzealous attempts to commodify knowledge. As we navigate the complex landscape of 21st-century innovation, it is crucial to critically examine and reform IP laws to ensure they serve their intended purpose of promoting progress rather than stifling it.
Like wealth disparity, you see people claiming more and more within the realm of IP. Where does this sort of land grabbing end?
Are you telling me IP wasn’t intended to be an eternal monopoly?
Not the original goal… But under the modern corpo regime, it is a tool of oppression of workers and customers tho
Hence why i follow honnor system now. If you are a bad faith actor, i dont pay for your “IP”
While not entirely wrong, I’d take anything out of free market fundamentalists mouths like the ones at Mises with a gain of salt.
IP is trash but it’s not going to be fixed by pseudo-scientific capitalist ideology.
