From Mises blog:
In Liberty, opponents of intellectual property claimed that copyright and patent contradicted, not only the purpose for which the idea of property evolved, but also the essential characteristics of property. FULL ARTICLE by Wendy McElroy

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.
To the extent possible under law,
