@SuperHeroDeluxe what about how to make bombs

as long as it isn't someone elses passwords and banking information

you dont think those should be halted

nope

yea this is where absolutism in anything starts to fall off

it isn't stopping people in shithole countries from blowing stuff up every day

@SuperHeroDeluxe all ideas are someones intellectual property

that's a made up thing

educational info should be free as long as it doesnt compromise anyone might not be a bad way to put it

@SuperHeroDeluxe so is private property

if someone takes your private property, you no longer have it

you only need to read the 1st 1 or 2 paragraphs to see where the problems start.

if someone copies your book, that's different

@SuperHeroDeluxe yea but i dont want my enemies getting access to find that would hurt my nation state

or our battle plans

in an work environment that is getting ever-more complex, there just aren't jobs for these ppl like there use to be

then secure the plans, use encryption

@SuperHeroDeluxe and when they steal my stuff im going to go to war with them and or atleast cause them grave economic harm

protect your IP

don't distribute it

@wotmaniac i agree, just lock them up and make sure they dont have kids

@SuperHeroDeluxe what about free information

i am not going into an endless cycle of "what about X"?

would u agree that there ought be certain __classes__ of info that should be off limits to the general public?

@SuperHeroDeluxe i mean, it would help catch inconsistancies

like what? @wotmaniac classes?

well, like brue referenced -- state secrets and shit

@SuperHeroDeluxe what if we got rid of IP after 50 years of the creation of the patent so that the individual still has the ability to profit off of his idea

limit the number of people who can see them, and harshly punish people who leak stuff

ppls personal data ought be legally protected (i mean, information is information) .... or would that be too pedantic of me?

i like IP regulation because it can help our Capitalist system work well

> limit the number of people who can see them, and harshly punish people who leak stuff
so, yes?

yeah, personal responsibility

and spank those who get around that

im all for protecting patents/ip

but, would i put someone in prison for getting data on how to make an artificial heart and making one for their child? no

if they weren't using the data to make a profit, i'd have a hard time punishing them
