When you mentioned "copyright" you would actually mean a patent. Which is an exclusive right to the patent holder to manufacture that product for 25 years. You have to apply to make a patent. "copyright" is an automatic legal protection attached to any sort of literary work (code, books, poems, songs) that protects works for being copied. That's why we need to attach "open source" licences to code. Not because we would want to be protective of our software but because we need to circumvent the automatic legal "protection" that already put on our code. Otherwise we would be open to a law suit (if the person was so enclined) that's probably why people ask permission. It's because a boomer may sue them for using his build of dmenu. Not saying that's valid but it may be an explanation

Therefore, you can't "steal" intellectual property it in the same way.

It's such a post-printing press idea too. In the middle ages and frankly every other time period before that, the only way books got around was by people independently copying them by hand.

It's sad that the progress is always only in the way of more regulations. I want to witness the decision to take patent law back as it didn't benefit the public. And other laws, too.

That's basically how it is in Greece, or was until 10 years ago. Anyone could just make a "cover", basically a distribution of the song and that's how we have multiple versions of each song, each one of them with their unique style and flavor. Sometimes they sound like entirely different songs. Some of the greatest pieces are just copies of other pieces that may have been a good idea but were poorly executed etc. The idea that a song (or any other piece of art) can be only distributed by one creator still seems ridiculous to me.

Huh? Right-wing libertarians have been against IP for a VERY long time. IP is a fundamentally liberal structure.

IP is a made-up term anyway, copyright is usually the issue. Copyright was originally invented as a form of guratantee for authors that others couldn't just take their work and run with it. Let's say I spend a year writing a book, could be a novel, could be a textbook, whatever. The price of the book will not only include the cost of manufacturing copies, but it also has to cover for the time it took me to write the book in the first place, plus salaries for editors, technical reviewers, typesetting, promotion, and that's if I just want to break even. Without copyright some other publisher could simply buy one copy of the book, copy it and sell it cheaper because that other publisher only has to cover the cost of copying. He does not have all the other upfront cost that I as the original author have. So copyright was invented to let me as the author control who gets to copy my original work. That licensee, such as a publisher, would then pay me either upfront or in form of royalties if he sees a value in the work. But that was at a time when making a copy carried a massive amount of effort and was something only few corporations could affort. Copyright was only meant to last a few years, not to be something to hold on for a century.

IP can get silly though for sure. I think it's mainly the case when it is applied to something really general. Like the old mmo "Worlds" that patented "a system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space". Which is so vague that it is palpable how absurd it would be to enforce given how ubiquitous online games are now. But they do enforce it and companies rather than having to go to court almost always fold and pay the fine.

I feel a similar way about news agencies putting up paywalls just to read their version of the news. lol

On a small scale I guess it would be true that creativity would "thrive", but large scale productions of movies, games, you name it, just can not exist without IP. Not that it would matter to me at this point, there is enough stuff out there right now which would take lifetimes to watch.

Good presentation, but one fundamental error: the idea that primitive societies, even permanently nomadic ones, did not have a concept of property is simply non-historical. They did. True it was more "fluid" (to use a contemporary buzzword) than what we have enshrined in our laws now, but it certainly. The idea that people without civilization, whatever that even means, we're living in some kind of proto-communistic situation is just not true from a linguistic or archaeological perspective.

The most important reason why companies make it big have nothing to do with IP. Most companies don't even try to patent things anymore, as those really doesn't work. You would have to be quite large company that actually can afford massive legal battles that take years. IP protection is great only for the selected few giants that can block competition away. For the total economy and level of inventions it's quite horrible. One way to think about this is to try to figure what would have happened if IP never would have happened. To me it's obvious that not having IP would have resulted in totally different, more leveled society, with higher level of innovations. Trademarks would still apply, as those could be seen as signatures of the company. And corporate espionage would still be illegal. But when the product is sold as public goods, then it's free and open, and using government to enforce threat of violence against others that use ideas from these public products, that's bad idea. Many say this is form of communism, while it's exactly the opposite. And this is not to say that we should remove all IP immediately, as in the current structure of western society, that would cause damage. But doing it slowly (or as fast as possible, after researching the effects) would give edge back to western countries. So many areas of business have been totally phucked in the west because of China (and other countries) raping our IP laws. They reap the benefits of no IP laws, and all of this is orchestrated by small group of people who control our world and have only certain global goals in mind. China is their chosen country, because the people are so conditioned and collectivists there.

But doesn't IP help reward and incentivize people for their creativity? Obviously there will be "starving artist" types who do what they like regardless of the money and there are people who can make a decent amount of money without any paywalls, but that's not everyone. There's a reason why our labor market has financial incentives and rewards - many people (Not all, but many) need them as motivation. That being said copyright law in the US is atrocious and needs to be way less restrictive.

Brave for a Christian to acknowledge Max Stirner! 😱

Just when I rewatched the "right side of history is a spook" video.

How do you protect intellectual creations against fraud without being able to claim some type of intellectual ownership? GPLv3 for example lays out guidelines for how a given IP can be distributed and attributed. Without IP, you can't make any such rules for distribution and attribution. Once they copy it, they own it, and can do what they like with it. Saying "fraud and trade secrets are totally different" is too hand wavy. How do you actually enforce fraud without IP?

The question to ask here is whether it’s better to have a select few wealthy patrons sponsoring individuals to produce things that we typically turn into intellectual property, with that sponsorship being inspired just by the good of the works, or if we would be better off in a world where people can support themselves off of their works. I think the latter made its way into the U.S. Constitution because it was thought that the young nation would miss out on important inventions, cultural works, and so on, should people with ideas be forced to shelve them in favor of survival by normal means. Right or wrong, it is an interesting experiment, and that’s probably what the framers intended. There was an idea at the time that there should be a revolution every 50 years or so, which would keep things from being enshrined in old legal documents beyond their useful lifespans.

Nice Tillandsia usneoides in the background.

Kino rant, it's proven that people who pirate software never planned buying it in the first place so no one loses one dime.
