Against Intellectual Property by Stefan Kinsella

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Conclusion

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:21.000
We see, then, that a system of property rights in ideal objects necessarily requires violation of other individual property rights, for example, to use one's own tangible property as one sees fit.

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Such a system requires a new homesteading rule which subverts the first occupier rule.

5
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.640
IP, at least in the form of patent and copyright, cannot be justified.

6
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:39.280
It is not surprising that IP attorneys, artists and inventors often seem to take for granted

7
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.840
the legitimacy of IP.

8
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.580
However, those more concerned with liberty, truth and rights should not take for granted

9
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:53.320
the institutionalized use of force used to enforce IP rights.

10
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:59.280
Instead, we should reassert the primacy of individual rights over our bodies and homesteaded

11
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.560
scarce resources.
