Creation Does Not Equal Ownership
Michael Masnick via Techdirt on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008
I'm quite often confused by those who consider themselves big supporters of pure free market capitalism, but who also are adamant believers in the importance of intellectual property. Perhaps the largest group of such folks are the so-called "Objectivist" followers of Ayn Rand. Capitalist Magazine is running an Objectivist defense of the recent Pro
