Hey mateys!

I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

FWIW I do actually think IP is a good idea but it should only last like 5 years tops

If I'm not mistaken research has concluded that the optimal IP duration is 14 years. Even if it's triple your duration it would mean that the current IP laws are objectively shit.

They've done objective research on this?! Why aren't we following the fuckin science? We're discussing the rules and duration when we should be discuss how to get it past the corpos and into implemented law.

Nothing good is going to happen until the working class is represented in government.

But the scope of this discussion is how OP should feel about IP, which assumes they have a say first.
