My article How Intellectual Property Hampers the Free Market, just appeared in the latest Freeman (June 2011; pdf). It is based on my talk “How Intellectual Property Hampers Capitalism,” Mises Institute Supporters’ Summit 2010: “The Economic Recovery: Washington’s Big Lie” (Oct. 9 2010, Auburn Alabama), video below.
Update: republished as “How to Slow Economic Progress,” Mises Daily (June 1, 2011)

Previous post: The Corrosive Effects of IP
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.
