Hey mateys!

I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.

This hot take brought to you by someone with no intellectual property of their own, I guarantee it.

Most IP owners didn't create what they have, but bought it off someone else. I have little pity for rich people.

Exactly this, most IP revenue comes from companies just either buying it from the original creator or hired people to make the IP that they never even had rights to

You really can’t imagine an artist that doesn’t buy into intellectual property, can you? It’s unfathomable to you.
