As far as I know a true libertarian wouldn't care about IP because a piece of code or song can be copied infinitely with little effort therefore isn't scarce like property or an object.
I think the fact that you can pretty much download every Austrian economic book for free from the Mises Institute website makes this clear.
Note: I don't want to discuss politics. I don't care if you think its wrong or you don't like left or wing wing libertarians if that's a thing. I'm just stating what I know. Please keep your opinions about "the one true anarchist" to yourself.
- mcguire 5y agoFortunately (in many ways), economists are not required to make a living from the proceeds of their writing. Do you happen to know of a libertarian economist who has specifically come out against property rights, and who has a book available from the Mises Institute? I might feel the urge to create a book this weekend.
