Anyone proponent of copyright, trademark or patents don't understand that it can not be done unless one kills all innovation. And no I do not call it intellectual property, the laws are civil laws and intellectual property is a newspeak expression invented by the big-media in order to for them to be able to claim theft when there is none.

I have been reading up on the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a legislation powerhouse responsible for laws such as the Voter ID legislation that we are dealing with here in PA.

Anarcho-libertarian attorney Stephan Kinsella discusses intellectual property on This Week in Law.

“The basic problem with patents is that you’re trying to assign property rights to something that doesn’t deserve property rights. The fact that these property rights end up in the hands of financial owners as opposed to the original inventors just exacerbates the problem. The basic problem is that Chris [Dixon] and a bunch of engineers can be sitting at Hunch designing some amazing new feature and somebody unbeknownst to them has a patent on this feature and never actually implemented it and can now screw them over… It’s just not right, it shouldn’t exist.”
