Here's another way of thinking about IP.

If I go outside in front of a crowd of people and share an idea I have, is it rational to think I have any right to restrict what those people do with that idea? If I do not want someone to know/copy my ideas I should not broadcast them.

Let's change the situation a bit.

If I have a conversation with a friend and share something in confidence. Then they tell others what I shared what has happened? My "friend" has violated a trust. You see, I trusted them. They didn't steal from me, they simple violated an agreement we had. You see, this is how contracts should work. This has nothing to do with IP. IP doesn't exist. It is a illogical idea that many have been tricked into believing.

What if I had a company and we developed something revolutionary. As a condition of employment you agree to not disclose this development with others. You agree to honor this agreement. Then some company approaches you and offers you 1 bitcoin to break your agreement. You spill the beans. Has theft occurred? OR has a violation of a contract occurred.

Its the later, not the former. Information has been shared to a broader group of people. The ideas cannot be deleted. They can't be held in your hand. Two people can separately come up with them independent from each other.

Most of the objections to my position on IP can be answered by contracts and a working legal system that is not manipulated by the state.
