If You Believe in IP, How Do You Teach Others?
,----[ Quote ]
| So on this score, Rand had perfectly sound
| instincts (a person should charge as much
| as he or she can for first run) but Rand's
| rationale was rooted in this modern notion
| of intellectual property, a theory, shared
| by nearly all her contemporaries, on which
| she was never once challenged. In fact, to
| a great extent, her philosophy exalted the
| role and rights of the creator more than
| any, probably, in the history of ideas.
| This is a great contribution, but she took
| the notion too far â for Rand, intellectual
| rights trumped real rights.

Implications of rejecting "intellectual property"
,----[ Quote ]
| Critics should think long and hard before
| they continue to defend "intellectual
| property". Not only is it based on pure
| fiction, something with no basis in
| reality, but their objections are silly and
| baseless showing more the lack of
| imagination and an unwillingness to think
| beyond their current paradigm. Furthermore
| their defense of IP only helps to prevent
| any meaningful change to the corporatist
| society we're living in, EVEN when they
| root for the Free or Open Source licensing.

Free vs. Paid: The Wrong Debate
,----[ Quote ]
| Can you frame this conversation as free vs.
| paid? No. Not if you are trying to get
| someone to pay you cash directly for
| something that is ubiquitously available for
| free. Free vs. Paid is not the great debate,
| itâs a no-brainer â free wins! Valueless vs
| Valuable, Scarce vs Ubiquitous, Demanding of
| attention vs Commanding of attention are the
| debates and the winners will be the
| individuals and organizations that can most
| effectively translate the value of content
| into wealth.
