Intellectual "property" is not real property. While I disagree with the parent on many things as my comments show, IP is not one of them. Information should be free, for anyone and everyone.

Another straw man.

"real" property or not. You agree that we have some right to our own outputs, right? Is that not dignity, to say "I want my outputs protected".

Seems like you think that your ideas should be free, as you called it information. How about you back that up with action... please send me all your most intimate, valuable ideas. Oh no, you don't feel comfortable? Then why are you sharing it with companies?
