We Don't Need No Stinkin' Intellectual Property, with Stephan Kinsella
Description
Stephan Kinsella was our guest to talk about "intellectual property," the concept that an individual's ideas belong to them and should be protected from free use by others through law. Stephan is a patent attorney and libertarian writer in Houston whose book Against Intellectual Property is the seminal work on this subject. We discussed why intellectual property is not really property, why it places an undue burden on society, and how it inhibits the free exchange of culture and ideas.
