For this reason, many would suggest not using it. It's a vague way of combining the separate issues of copyright, patents, and trademarks. It also illegitimately tries to equate those things to property, which changes how many feel about it.

- flkenosad 3y agoThank you for that information. In the future I'll direct my criticism more precisely. To clarify, it is mainly copyright laws I have a bone to pick with. Trademarks make sense. Patent laws sort of make sense in some circumstances, less in others.
