- Guffton 6y ago> I don't consider ip property Wait, what?
- ReptileMan 6y agoWell one of the defining characteristics of property is that there is finite amounts of it. But we have inexhaustible supplies of 0s and 1s, and words.
- JohnWhigham 6y agoIt'd be nice if we could have a happy medium it's like we can only live in extremes. On one end, we have the US, the land of patent trolls and divisions of companies suing other divisions of companies for millions and wasting years of time. On the other end, we have China where people just blatantly steal everything. Released a new successful product on Amazon? Get ready to be undercut by 50% or more by some no-name brand out of nowhere!
- gamblor956 6y ago"ip" = "intellectual property". It's literally in the name. Property isn't defined by quantity or finiteness. It's anything, real or otherwise, for which ownership consists of a set of rights to control the exploitation (aka "use") of the thing.
