    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    As I alluded to, things like Budweiser are a relatively recent development that historically the Right didn't do especially in contrast to the Left in which such things were its bread and butter. Now I'm willing to be proven wrong on the matter so did I miss any great, widespread boycotts in...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    As you say the Dixie Chicks "wasn't all that long ago" especially compared to the Left infiltration of, for instance Hollywood, going back to the 30's if not earlier of the 20th century. One also has to take into the account frequency of outrage and intensity which is part of the reason I...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    That's an argument of practicality, something I haven't denied and indeed brought up first in response to you. But that doesn't address the philosophical issue of if ideas are property or not. Which itself is a question is it stealing to keep something out of the Public Domain or if the Public...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    There were multiple points raised in the post you are quoting. Can I assume you have conceded all but the one issue you are responding too? A patent would also have unique characteristics and can be used to track the physical representation of the idea. Further I'm not sure arguing ideas have...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    I'm not sure if that's the only difference but yes, it does seem to be a major influence on why you seem to view the legacy of IP's as so important while I view them as a means to an end. Ultimately disposable. I would disagree however that my view is "what happens to my stories doesn't matter...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    And I would encourage all of that yet. I think all of that would be far more practical than abolishing the copyright system. Oh no, far from it. Much like the Free Market is hardly Utopian. I'll admit part of the confusion may because I use Utopian in a pejorative sense. At its simplest, I am...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    A "superior product", itself a very subjective term, doesn't answer how you will fund its development, find a platform or attract eyes to your product so it doesn't languish in nonexistence or obscurity. After all if the goal is to compete against Amazon's interpretation of LOTR it solves...

    Philosophy The Morality/Immorality of Intellectual Property

    Well, broadly speaking, the Right doesn't do cancel culture or, for the longest time, didn't really do boycotts be it of films or products. Since the Left does do such things we, by our various inactions, created an environment were it was profitable to carry water for the Left but costly to do...
