I have heard so many people who want to patent or copyright lame and bad ideas that the concept of IP law became kind of retarded to me a few years ago.
If it's a good idea, someone will figure out how to steal it anyway.
But it's probably not.

Took Rothbard to change my mind on patents and Hoppe and Kinsella to change my mind on copyright. Slow learner. Information wants to be free. Proof of work is where it’s at.
You need to tease this out for me next time we hang.
Definitely. No longer in Kirkwood but have my wheels back. Would be great to catch up before the conference.
I had originally received a link to Hoppe resource on Nostr that changed my thinking a bit, but it has fallen from relays. I’ll need to spin up my old Start9 nostr relay and see if it’s cached there.
This was not it, but presents the same arguments.
