Intellectual Property Laundering

• ThrowawayR2 4y ago
  "'Information wants to be free!' ... but not ours though." "'There's no such thing as intellectual property' ... except mine. Don't you dare touch my IP. I"ll sue!" "'Downloading a copy doesn't deprive the copyright owner of anything' ... hey, stop stealing my code. Thief! Pirate!" The irony of the anti-IP and pro-FOSS crowd failing to live up to their own professed philosophy is profound.

    A large portion of the "FOSS" cherishes IP law and using it to enforce source availability of derivative works.
