Comment: I've skimmed it but already

I've skimmed it but already it appears to be entirely a utilitarian argument. That's not important to me. The moral argument has precedence. But the utilitarian argument is all disputable... It tends to be little more than statistics and many of these arguments apply equally to physical property.

Maybe you can save me time by making the moral argument against IP if they even make one? The only one I've encountered is "I bought the book, so it's mine!!" That's Kinsella's. Which is empty... owning the paper is not owning the words.

I see IP as real property and the creators the de facto owners. That the terms of use of that property and financial benefit belongs to them no different than for physical land. I see no reason to believe otherwise.
