Some of us feel disarmed and powerless when entering into discussions about intellectual "property", because a lot of the terminology is not neutral. The vocabulary used by the IP establishment is not neutral, and stakes out a legitimacy it doesn't deserve. | Some of us feel disarmed and powerless when entering into discussions about intellectual "property", because a lot of the terminology is not neutral.

People are born free, as recognized in the International Declaration of Human Rights. They are free cultural actors and free economic agents. Society may impose some limits on those freedoms through democratically established laws, but there needs to be a sound ethical and legal basis for those limitations. Copyright grants a temporary (in the US, the "founder's copyright" was only 14 years) monopoly on reproducing intellectual products to one agent, the creator (or the creator's corporate publisher) at the expense of the freedom of others who might want to use and copy it. The ethical justification for limiting freedom of the many in favor of the few, and supporting the right of the creator or publisher to collect income beyond the costs of creative production is to encourage more creative production. The income of the creator or publisher becomes a rentier income, dependent on that temporary monopoly. Their interest in protecting this rentier income needs to be balanced against the interests of other free persons who would benefit from using and copying some intellectual product. | People are born free, as recognized in the International Declaration of Human Rights.

Society has other successful ways of promoting cultural creation. Science, for example, benefits from the free dissemination of research papers and scientific results in a sort of scientific commons. | Society has other successful ways of promoting cultural creation.
