    those laws are literally anti-natura in that ideas are naturally shared

    Bludgeoned heads are pro-natura, but not very good.

    is really just a facet of the broader societal problem of politics in Capitalist nations (even those disguised as “Democracy”)

    In Democratic Kampuchea, on the other hand, there was no intellectual property. Everything intellectual was forbidden and punishable by death, in fact, even eyeglasses, even knowing how to read and write (except if you were an official, or a railway worker, or an ambassador, or someone similarly necessary).

    All you had to do was work, and your Khmer blood would lead you on, all Blut und Boden.

    Sorry, just watched The Killing Fields yesterday and remembered of … that.

    Your arguments could be more persuasive if you’d drop that “capitalist vs socialist” stuff, outside of golden billion countries it doesn’t work very well.

      Wow, your entire “argument” is literally nothing more than a collection of Strawmen, False Dichotomy Falacies and McCarthist-style slogans (yeah, sure mate, any critique of anything at all in modern Capitalism must be “Socialism”).

      Five paragraphs of tribalist muppet kneejerk slogans deployed in defense of the notion that Ideas should be Property, no less.

      Only Socialists would want to have published Scientific Papers freely available to all and for there to be archives of published digital works in the day and age of zero cost publishing and distribution on the Internet: the evils of Socialism can only be avoid if for absolutelly everything, somebody somewhere is getting paid.

        This is unreadable, due to German capitalization in English text in part, but also due to pure inadequacy.

        I shared my associations with what you said, and then expressed my actual point in one sentence.
