as we know, a firm understanding of and respect for property rights would eliminate most conflict. and as we know, each of us has a right to our body, mind, and life, and by extension we have a right to our production, which is the result of our time, life, skill, and labor. Each of us recognizes that we all own things, that we are owners of property. That is, we have property rights to those things we own. No one else can legitimately claim a right to anything you own.
Intellectual property is not a legitimate property right. It is created by government granting a monopoly privilege in the form of patent, copyright, trademark, etc. To claim intellectual property is a legitimate property right is to claim (partial) ownership over someone else's mind, life, skill, labor, materials, and production. Information cannot be owned; it is impossible. One can look at a patent and construct, one can disassemble a can take a mold of a bottle and create, one can hear music and play by ear, one can take a book and type it out word for word, one can determine the chemical makeup and structure of medicine. And they would be YOUR production, the result of your time, life, skill, materials, and labor, and you have a right to use your production as you wish, including selling it. All of the above are examples of information, information that is seen and heard and then combined with ration, reason, and labor.
No one has any right to your mind, life, property, and production
