Replying to Avatar Habanero

You said... IP is a scam. I said innovators should be able to lay claim to their innovations. I think they should for a period of time, but not infinite time. Your saying my reasoning is flawed because I didn't specify the exact length of time?

You also said, "nothing missing = nothing stolen" . I would disagree with this as well. In my previous example of stealing Lyn Alden's book and claiming it as someones own work; they would be stealing the profits from her book sells and the prestige and social clout of publishing new and innovative ideas. They can definitely cause harm by fraudulently claiming others innovative ideas.

There is no right to future profits or future customers. If I own a shop & a better shop moves in across the street my profits may suffer but they did not *steal* anything from me.

If they lie to get customers, that's a different story.
