it's more of a matter that people who want property rights are more powerful

@hqjsdbsnwa thoughts on IP ?

IP?

intellectual property

I'm an internet communist and I want the revolution to happen now

Why are commies so hell-bent about the revolution

Oh..well it has its use as that is still the property of the individual who made it but it should expire after the individual dies plus lets say 10 years

i mean marx and all, hatred of burger flippers that surgeons make more than them

@hqjsdbsnwa i mean, pretty arbitrary

plus it's a restriction on actions of others

Marx...ugh I wish I could go back and kill him on his 18tu birthday

or at least convince engles not to sponsorm him

Didn't Engles become an egoist lol

If you make something I think you have a right to profit off it

Almost I think

sure, i mean nobody stopping you

it's more of a case that you can tell someone else to go and bust someone elses business if they copied your model

I don't want to collectivize intellectual property lmao

it's not really collectivization, otherwise what, everyone pays to the queen or creators of words

If you make something,it belongs to you,until you sell it

yeah sure, how does it go for the intangible things though

someone made a dish, now suddenly you can't make it

there aren't patents on dishes, though some chefs pushed for it

Well he didn't invent it

how's that, it's a new one, nobody cooked it like him before

If you make a new invention thats different

patents are spooks

for me it's more of a practical thing, how patents slow down innovation

businesses still want to improve, and innovation is a highly collaborative process

lgbt is a spook

I don't see the point of patents

Seems to get in the way of progress

i mean it makes sense on a face value, like if someone can't recoup their costs they won't innovate

and we gonna be stuck with everything being the same, which i mean

or slower rate of innovation rather

Why would you want to invent if you didn't have a piece of paper saying nobody can use ur invention without your permission first so that you can profit from it?

because businesses compete, and it's not like inventions are made with just one person, they are built on previous work and when someone monopolies it means further derivative work can't be done as quickly

but on the rights issue, it's not like genuine property

like if you own a car you own it forever, what's the deal with having patents for just 5 - 10 years

why not for a life with ability to transfer to your children

U don't get my point
