Against Intellectual Monopoly
,----[ Quote ]
| It is common to argue that intellectual property in the form of copyright and
| patent is necessary for the innovation and creation of ideas and inventions
| such as machines, drugs, computer software, books, music, literature and
| movies. In fact intellectual property is not like ordinary property at all,
| but constitutes a government grant of a costly and dangerous private monopoly
| over ideas. We show through theory and example that intellectual monopoly is
| not neccesary for innovation and as a practical matter is damaging to growth,
| prosperity and liberty.
