Hi, I am Harry Felker and I am new to the community here, I write literature for a constitutional movement, and am expanding not only my audience, but my knowledge of Capitalism, as I view it as a moral foundation to essential Liberty. I have been using the site as a reference to my work in relation…

You just defined patents and copyrights, not intellectual property. Intellectual property is the idea of owning ideas, plain and simple. Patents and copyrights are not the ideas, but rather the protections on those Ideas, so I stand by my definition… And the letter A is a product of the concept …

Not true. We are living the constitution today. This is the institution that the Constitution has created. Individual rights and legislative power(not to mention executive power) are incompatible, what we have today is the only way the contradictions in the Constitution could have worked out. Is m…

You are misusing the language. Not your fault, you’ve learned to do it from others. Copying something is not the same thing as taking it. If I steal a car, I gain one car and someone else loses one car. Its a zero sum game; Scarcity exists, so property rights serve to resolve inevitable disputes. …

A letter of the alphabet can not be considered intellectual property, Why not? Huh? If someone is going to purchase a painting or a book, then, yes, those IP would be his indefinitely…and one can do whatever he wishes with his acquisition, sell it or pass it on to someone else…property right…

No, it is not. It can only be taken away by force, which is wrong. It isn’t lost unless someone takes positive action (implying that liberty isn’t a natural state but a manufactured one) Please define for me force? I’m saying it cannot be a responsibility unless that responsibility is accepted…

Obviously, the Constitution is the recognition not the creation of these rights Ok, good, just gettin’ my barrings on what you know and surely you are on what I know. Exchanging some knowledge on this free market forum. [Y] No, you are not supposed to “swallow it” you are supposed to fight it,…

Force, aggression, coercion. If you have an apple in your hand, and I take it from your hand without your permission (consent) then that is by force. I have aggressed against your property.
