I don't think that's fair. I'm responding to a claim that IP is "wrong". The parent poster purported to demonstrate why this is so, and had not done this. The burden of proof is not on me.
- naasking 5y agoSince you agreed with the OP that IP is no longer achieving it's stated goals, then the original reasons justifying the restrictions of our natural rights no longer hold and thus our natural rights take precedence. The burden for establishing continued restrictions is clear. You spoke of principles, but I think you got them backwards, and thus sought to clarify what the actual underlying principles are.
