I am strongly convinced that the possession of ideas and creations of the
intellect is not possible. In my opinion, only physical things can be possessed,
that is, things that are limited, that is, that can only be in one place. The
power or the freedom to do with the object what one wants corresponds to the
concept of possession. This does not mean, however, that one must expose
everything openly. This is ultimately the difference between proprietary
solutions, where the “construction manual” is kept to oneself, and the open
source philosophy, where this source is accessible to everyone. As the title
says, I would oppose this thesis to your arguments and hope that together we can
rethink and improve our positions. Please keep in mind that this can be an
enrichment for all, so we discuss with each other and not against each other ;)
Hey mateys!
I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.
Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.
They still wouldn’t though. Think about it this way:
Amazon paid big bucks for the rights to make a lord of the rings show and did a shit job for the amount of money they spent.
The last season of GoT spent more than every other season and couldn’t touch the early seasons in terms of quality.
Money =/= good art
Might as well at least make it so the big spenders can’t hold the IP hostage.
FWIW I do actually think IP is a good idea but it should only last like 5 years tops. Maybe longer for industrial patents/inventions. This “Life of the author + X decades” stuff is horseshit.

If I’m not mistaken research has concluded that the optimal IP duration is 14 years. Even if it’s triple your duration it would mean that the current IP laws are objectively shit.
They’ve done objective research on this?! Why aren’t we following the fuckin science? We’re discussing the rules and duration when we should be discuss how to get it past the corpos and into implemented law.

Except it means they can encroach on your ideas without your consent… Money may not mean good art… But Money definitely means getting better talent in house which can make good art.

Nothing good is going to happen until the working class is represented in government.
But the scope of this discussion is how OP should feel about IP, which assumes they have a say first.
