Anyone gone down the copyright and patent 🐇 🕳️?

“The crucial distinction between patents and copyrights, then, is not that one is mechanical and the other literary. The fact that they have been applied that way is an historical accident and does not reveal the critical difference between them.

The crucial difference is that copyright is a logical attribute of property right on the free market, while patent is a monopoly invasion of that right.”

-Rothbard (Man, Economy State…)

The library of babel had me even rethinking my views on copyright.

Yeah. No copyrights have any philosophical justification. If you think otherwise, we can break it down and deconstruct it until you land there.

As for patents, you can see their fault simply by their failure to produce the intended result.

No need, thank you. Circled Hoppe a few times on that one, but finally found runway.
