Against Intellectual Monopoly
Submitted by Don Stacy on Tue, 2011-12-06 02:00
"One of the most important recent advances in libertarian theory has come in the field of intellectual property. Several writers,Stephan Kinsella most notably among them, have argued that patents and copyrights should not form part of a proper libertarian law code. These writers modify and extend the work of Murray Rothbard, who allowed copyrights but not patents."
