Hey mateys!

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

As a libertarian, I don't want anyone to decide about anyone. And that's the line I'm working towards, refining and testing in discussions like this one. But I see that you are definitely a greater realist, because you know from the beginning what the right way is.

    We already know what happens when regulations are eased. People die, profits soar, workers are abused. It isn't some philosophical theory, it's what happens. It's what has always happened throughout history.

    That's why there are regulations in the first place. Because horrible things kept happening to people and we collectively decided that it would be better if that didn't continue. Shitty things happened and as a result, regulations were put into place. That's what happened and that's the reality we live in. To suggest otherwise is to live in a fantasy land.

    Just like today: People die, profits soar, workers are exploited. IP won't chamge anything aslong as we the people don't change. Regulations are mostly favour the rich as they can afford to find loopholes in them, the weak must suffer under them.
