elated And learn some damn history! patents had deep deep roots in monopolies & piracy privileges. 'Copyright' originates from censorship & control of publication.

@masonkiller666 that's the point. IP is just a simpler more practical way of enforcing contracts in an environment where the standard method would be impossible.
-
@Houshalter True, and that works when protecting trade secrets, however when selling products it's a business model that can't practically work.

@masonkiller666 if I make a contract with someone to not release my ideas in exchange for sharing them, I am owed something when they go and do otherwise.
Sorry for the typos, but I just feel this man is displaying false confidence in his idea by attaching them to simple more agreed upon human concepts. Consequently it's kinda a manipulation technique. We all breath, so thus breathing is a limited resource, thus we all need private property, thus Texas is better than the other states, and blah blah blah under the guide of "scientific".
