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.

    They still wouldn’t though. Think about it this way:

    Amazon paid big bucks for the rights to make a lord of the rings show and did a shit job for the amount of money they spent.

    The last season of GoT spent more than every other season and couldn’t touch the early seasons in terms of quality.

    Money =/= good art

    Might as well at least make it so the big spenders can’t hold the IP hostage.

    FWIW I do actually think IP is a good idea but it should only last like 5 years tops. Maybe longer for industrial patents/inventions. This “Life of the author + X decades” stuff is horseshit.
