As I noted in the blogposts collected in Are anti-IP patent attorneys hypocrites?, if you buck the IP system you can expect to get extra scrutiny, especially if you are part of the system–i.e., if you have any credibility. In a recent situation, reported on Techdirt, Judge Makes Company Pay More For Infringement Because The CEO Complained Publicly About The Patent System, merely expressing disagreement with the existing fascist IP regime penalizes those bucking it.
The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
