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.

    Problem solving is basically patent. After all what is stopping a megacorp from using the same solution but in such a way that doesn’t copy the exact work? Software for example, with current IP law, clean room reverse engineering is completely legal.

    Think of how Tribute of Panem and Divergent almost have the exact same story beats but are still separate IP. IP protects singular works, like authors and their books, artists and their work.
