Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 208.
A conversation about intellectual property and libertarian and property theory with my old friend J. Neil Schulman. We discussed our differing views on IP, as a result of my comments on a recent post Patrick Smith: Un-Intellectual Property. Hey, I tried my best, but we never quite saw eye to eye.
For further information, see Neil's posts Human Property, The Libertarian Case for IP; and Media-Carried Property (MCP).
