Your statement is totally incompatible with itself.
Now please give me my free beer from your free market and provide me that list of one modern advanced country that has seen the light and chucked all IP laws.
They’re cookoo for cookoo disclosures! And also generally speaking they’re hardcore “statists”.
On the whole I’m the former, but I’m very much not the later.
Why aren’t these issues being addressed by people in the IP community? People don’t even bother about thinking of the effects these IP laws have.
IP is unjustified and totally incompatible with free markets and property rights.
A list of 14.
Nice.
Where is my list of one? As in, one modern advanced country that has seen the light and chucked all IP laws?
Not 14. Not 13. Not 12. Not 11. Not 10. Not 9. Not 8. Not 7. Not 6. Not 5. Not 4. Not 3. Not 2.
1.
Oops, time to drive off and crrp another day.
Here is another one:
14. Why the patent system cannot be “fixed.” Why the patent system needs to be abolished.
Don’t get me started on the copyright system.
Techdirt is an awesome resource. Here are some ideas for writing topics:
1. Why even invalid patents have “value.”
2. Why patent monopolies really hinder innovation.
3. The patent disclosure myth.
4. Why patents do not drive innovation.
5. Why the US patent system is not the envy of the world.
6. Why patent monopolies kill: The detrimental effects of patent monopolies on medical and pharmaceutical innovation.
7. The myth that investors will not invest without patents.
8. The myth that nobody will invent anything if they could not patent it.
9. The myth that patents are a measure of innovation.
10. The myth that patents protect small inventors against exploitation by ruthless, evil, big bad corporations.
11. The myth that patents are good for the economy.
12. The myth that patents cannot be abolished without replacing them with something else that presumably encourages innovation.
13. How patent monopolies work in reality.
Tip for 6:
Your understanding of real law is inversely related to your visits to techdirt and drinking their koolaid.
“This suggests, in this writer’s opinion, that Anonymous has background control of multiple U.S. government websites – and after the antics this weekend, the group likely has had this access for a while and they are playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the United States Department of Justice.”
Lulz.
