Text of the page (random words):
f their discoveries many great inventions were in some sense stolen ideas commercialized by someone other than their inventors some unethical behavior fraud exploitation and outright stealing certainly does exist in these stories he links to 10 famous inventions that come from stolen ideas and the epic decades long battle between ford and a small time inventor the latter gives the example of robert kearns who invented the intermittent windshield wiper and showed it to ford who then allegedly stole it from kearns but as i have pointed out it is impossible to steal ideas ideas cannot be owned loaded terms like theft stealing ripping off pirating even taking are all inaccurate and imprecise in a free market and a free society peaceful activities like learning copying emulating and competing are of course permissible as of right it is true that in our quasi statist world the statist positive law corrupts natural organic evolved private law which involves only offenses that are malum in se with artificial fiat legislation which creates offenses which are merely malum prohibitum so copying someone s idea is not stealing at all even if the corrupt legislated fiat law makes it an offense but this is still not theft it is a made up offense called infringement even the courts recognize this as the us supreme court wrote in dowling vs united states interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft conversion or fraud the copyright act even employs a separate term of art to define one who misappropriates a copyright an infringer of the copyright it is understandable that dishonest advocates of ip socialism want to muddy the waters and use loaded terms with negative connotations to describe what is simply peaceful behavior learning copying emulating competing as stealing but when even the courts concede that these offense are not actually theft or stealing but only a made up tort of infringement we free market opponents of ip socialism should not use the socialists dishonest and inaccurate terminology related it is impossible to own ideas stop calling patent and copyright property stop calling copying theft and piracy copying patent

articles on the impossibility of owning ideas intellectual property versus the unrealized per bylund mises wire 06 25 2026 w hy would anyone invest large sums of capital into creating something new of uncertain income this question captures the core of the argument for intellectual property or the legal protection of inventors ideas from being copied and put to broader use the simple logic appears intuitive and therefore persuasive but does not stand up to scrutiny why because it applies to all entrepreneurship which is always an investment in something of uncertain value yet this does not seem to stop entrepreneurs or rather it moderates which entrepreneurial projects are undertaken so that the craziest ideas are not pursued unless they are potentially very profitable continue reading share

incoming director of the law library at william mary there are some categories of information that are so critical to a well functioning society that restrictions on access or use should almost never be allowed we could write a long list of those categories but at the top would be the law anyone vaguely familiar with the u s legal system knows that ignorance of the law is no excuse the ancient concept that citizens have the obligation to understand and comply with the law is an almost absolute presumption across the american legal system and wrapped up in that presumption is the implicit expectation that citizens have an opportunity to understand the law and thus necessarily have access to the text of the law itself concepts like democratic rule and due process hinge on the concept

as contract kinsella v wenzel by stephan kinsella on june 16 2026 just came across this old post from bionic mosquito whose name is apparently jonathan goodwin according to danny ajamian 1 i am not really sure about ip and my then upcoming debate with werewolf wenzel bionic is somewhat confused about all this but at least doens t seem to favor ip or pretend he is an expert on it but for example he writes i have never found the debate significantly important to me can one own an idea in its various manifestations while it is to me personally a rather peripheral issue given the other more clear cut governmentally enabled property rights violations we face daily it is an important consideration for some in the libertarian community it may not be important to him but it is far from a marginal or trivial issue it s up there with war taxation the fed and so on it s very damaging and insidious 2 he also wonders if ip could be enforced privately by contract in a stateless society it cannot as i have explained because ip is not a contractual in personam right it is an in rem property right it has nothing to do with contract see ip as contract as mosquito suggests in the comments e

rights against cwik by stephan kinsella on june 11 2026 wojciech gamrot labor as the basis for intellectual property rights against cwik philosophy of management 2026 pdf abstract while the dominant justification for intellectual property rights seems to remain consequentialist various deontological theories are also proposed they often appeal directly or indirectly to intellectual labor as a source of rights or as a circumstance that is relevant to justifying intellectual property on moral grounds recently another such theory has been proposed by bryan cwik gaining substantial recognition it holds that in the absence of intellectual property regulation innovators and artists are at a disadvantage as compared to manual laborers this is because they cannot control how the fruits of their intellectual labor are used patents copyrights and other similar regimes are portrayed as necessary to secure their control over the exercise of their productive capacities in the present paper cwik s theory is evaluated and exposed as indeterminate its metaphysical presuppositions are also criticized when they are replaced by a more coherent ontology a reinterpretation of control relations follows cwik s objective of maximizing individuals control over their own productive capacities is achieved by intellectual property abolition rather than enforcement his theory fails to support intellectual monopoly to be updated later for now see bryan cwik property rights in non rival goods 2 3 4 it s another flawed argument but at least he recognizes that ideas are not scarce in the sense of rivalrous and thus to justify ip one must come up with some way to justify property rights in non rival goods no surprise he elsewhere makes other bad arguments for ip e g labor as the basis for intellectual property rights 2 3 see also good ideas is pretty scarce kol491 trying to persuade paul cwik of the case against ip other ip theories the problem with intellectual property paul cwik bad evolving see is there room for intellectual property rights in austrian economics mises org 3 04 2008 also our recent discussion kol491 tbd as i note in good ideas is pretty scarce yet others are a mite more honest case in point property rights in non rival goods by bryan cwik it s another flawed argument but at least he recognizes that ideas are not scarce in the sense of rivalrous and thus to justify ip one must come up with some way to justify property rights in non rival goods no surprise he elsewhere makes other bad arguments for ip e g labor as the basis for intellectual property rights gamrot labor as the basis for intellectual property rights against cwik interestingly another cwik paul cwik also makes bad arguments in favor of ip unlike the other cwik paul should know better as he is an
