Text of the page (random words):
hat some very minimal narrowly tailored ip especially traditional deception based trademark and perhaps a short limited copyright could be defensible on efficiency incentive grounds in theory his work focuses on showing that current expansive doctrines have overshot that point and created unjustified monopolies he works within the existing legal framework to constrain and roll back overreach kinsella is a principled abolitionist he rejects the entire ip category as illegitimate on both deontological natural rights and consequentialist grounds and calls for its outright elimination not mere narrowing in short lunney is one of the more prominent academic critics of expansive ip and is squarely in the anti ip camp as kinsella defines it he supplies powerful scholarly ammunition against modern copyright and trademark expansion but he stops short of kinsella s full abolitionist position leaving open the possibility of a stripped down incentive justified core kinsella is farther out on the spectrum total elimination of state ip monopolies lunney is anti ip enough to be praised by kinsella but more moderate reform oriented in his ultimate prescriptions a natural right to copy glynn s lunney jr trademark monopolies emory l j 48 1999 367 487 abstract since 1742 when lord hardwicke seemingly equated trademark protection with monopoly in one of the first trademark cases until the mid 1950s concerns that trademarks represented a form of illegitimate monopoly effectively constrained the growth of trademark protection in the twentieth century edward chamberlin became the leading proponent of the trademark as monopoly view with the publication of his work the theory of monopolistic competition in 1933 in his work chamberlin argued that a trademark enabled its owner to differentiate her products and then to exclude others from using the differentiating feature by doing so trademark protection can effectively cede control over distinct product markets to individual producers and thereby generate for trademark owners the downward sloping demand curve of a monopolist with its associated monopoly rents and deadweight losses although chamberlin himself recognized the need for product differentiation and rejected the supposed ideal of the perfect competition model his work became a common rallying point for the trademark as monopoly argument during the legislative debates leading to the trademark act of 1946 his work served as a basis for the justice department s opposition to broad trademark protection glynn s lunney jr a natural right to copy boston university law review forthcoming texas a m university school of law legal studies research paper no 19 42 25 posted 20 aug 2019 abstract in this symposium we gather to celebrate the work of wendy gordon in this essay i revisit her article a property right in self expression equality and individualism in the natural law of intellectual property in the article professor gordon first used the no harm principle of john locke to justify copyright as natural right and then used his enough and as good proviso to limit that right her second step turned natural rights approaches to copyright on its head through it she showed that even if we accept copyright as natural right that acceptance does not necessarily lead to a copyright of undue breadth or perpetual duration rather even a natural rights framework leads to a copyright regime shorter and narrower than we presently have while i agree that copyright should be shorter and narrower i worry that professor gordon conceded too much in her first step neither locke s reasoning nor professor gordon s reading of it can justify a right to prohibit copying as a matter of natural law it is not the right to prohibit copying to which we have a natural entitlement it is the right to copy share this share email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new

multiple homesteading theory and the metaphysics of ideas and information by stephan kinsella on may 12 2026 andrea togni the multiple homesteading theory and the metaphysics of ideas and information journal of libertarian studies 30 no 1 2026 64 86 abstract this article explores the intersections between privacy property rights ideas and information the multiple homesteading theory mht posits that property rights have universal applicability encompassing the physical digital and mental domains property in ideas and information pii exists only as long as privacy is fully maintained once shared ideas and information trigger automatic homesteading processes in any individual who comes into contact with them these individuals then form new and original ideas which remain their exclusive property as long as privacy is preserved any libertarian addressing pii must investigate the ontological nature of ideas and information which cannot be defined in purely physicalistic terms this article carries out this preparatory work through examinations of heterogeneous philosophical and scientific theories literature and classical music in addition a meme theory of ideas is outlined ultimately recognizing the existence of pii does not legitimize positivistic intellectual property ip legislation which is incompatible with libertarian principles instead the mht demonstrates that privacy bridges coherent libertarian theory and effective libertarian action especially in a world dominated by the pervasive intersection of the physical and digital domains share this share email a
