The only people who claim Intellectual Property isn't real or shouldn't be respected also tend to be the same people who cant support themselves off of intellectual pursuits.
Why is it always the second someone doesnt personally benefit from a right, any right, is the moment they think that right should be abolished?
@freemo ummm... who are you talking about and how do you conclude they can't support themselves through intellectual pursuits? (unless by "off of" you mean "by exploiting the uneducated masses")
I'm only familiar with the topic through free software movement, and that's mostly bunch of nerds who can only ever hope to support themselves through intellectual pursuits and nothing else (meaning since they are alive they quite clearly can).
@namark I am talking about a general class of people I have met. No one you are likely to know by name.
@freemo "The only people" "tend to be" people you know by name?
Alrighty, valid perspective I guess... let me introduce you to

to bring them into existence.
@namark I know some by name yes
