Um no. Janitorial service is not intellectual property. It doesn't qualify in any way as a 'secret'. There's no 'secret' or private information being shared. If the Janitor publishes a tell-all story about what went on in the author's home, then yes, he does get to charge everyone who reads it.
- breck 7y agoI appreciate you engaging in the conversation. Thank you for your thoughts. I’m not sure if we’ll come to a consensus at all, but it’s interesting to read your responses. My take is “intellectual property” is a joke of a concept, that is completely arbitrary and has no grounding in the real world (because if you dissect any piece of work, you would find that it “infringes” on the “rights” of the “labor” of countless individuals before). It’s a lie. Plain and simple. Used to benefit the rich and powerful. Intellectual slavery or intellectual monopoly. Those are the true terms here.
