96 Entrepreneurship Part 13: IP Is Bad For Business
An episode about the problems with Intellectual Property, from the perspective of an entrepreneur. I started off thinking that IP is an integral and necessary part of entrepreneurship. I thought that it would be very important for my business. I have now come to see IP law as something that:
- prevents innovation,
- is immoral,
- promotes conflict,
- diverts resources to unproductive uses
- and is ultimately unnecessary for making money from ideas.
