Excellent explanation of why ideas cannot be owned (in the same sense that tangible property can be owned). Also excellent argument against the validity of trademark law, as it is currently implemented.

Good summary of various libertarians' arguments pro-IP. I wasn't aware of all of these. The general error behind these arguments seems to be a neglect of the fact that sharing an idea produces a replicant in the mind of the person with whom the idea is shared: I do own my own ideas, but only so long as I keep them secret. Once I share an idea with you, however, each of us owns his own replicant of the idea.

Nice summary of different kinds of IP. Like Kinsella, I've also observed much confusion among the lay public between different types of IP.

So far, a brief summary of material I've already read in various articles. Rather dry, but that's the style of academic treatise.
