- wahern 8y agoFor decades there's been a growing vein of economic and legal scholarship that goes something like: 1) Strong property rights are good: they make economic transactions efficient and promote investment 2) Copyrights are property rights 3) Strong copyrights are good: they make economic transactions efficient and promote investment The scholarship is literally just that simple, and almost completely discounts or ignores all the obvious costs and caveats. This type of reductionism and equivocation is endemic to the modern economic and legal academies and doesn't show much sign of abating anytime soon.
