Good question, I never thought about it this way. Why does IP get such special protections? Why not blacklist companies that cheat on their taxes, or violate EP

Good question, I never thought about it this way. Why does IP get such special protections? Why not blacklist companies that cheat on their taxes, or violate EPA regs?
- Natsu 16y ago> Why does IP get such special protections? A lot of expensive lobbyists.
- dedward 16y agoAs soon as the door is opened to allow this for IP, everthing else will follow like a tidal wave.
- anigbrowl 16y agoBecause copying and duplication of IP are trivially easy over the digital infrastructure. The shutdown measures are primarily injunctive rather than penal. Firms in other industries often have sanctions imposed on them as well, but they're not as obvious to those outside that industry.
