> So long as you're consistent with that view for all forms of intellectual property that seems a reasonable position. the main point is that digital 'property' works essentially like culture, by people copying each other. whereas non-digital property, i.e. real world property, works differently. this distinction, in my view, changes the valid view for each two sorts of assets: digital, and non-digital. > on the theory that that incentive encourages the development of creative works and enriches society more than it would have without those barriers I don't agree with this view. But I'm thinking that there's another distinction between two types of persons and their applicable incentives. Maybe each kind of person needs different sort of incentive? So in both cases the issue is to ignore a difference (in the way the asset works and) in the way to incentivize persons.
