As a professional artist, I always took intellectual property and copyrights for granted. But after studying with @saifedean and preparing to attend @NSKinsella live for the upcoming podcast, I’m rethinking everything from the standpoint of property rights.
The key takeaway? True ownership is about physical property, not monopolies on ideas.
Mises taught us that ideas guide human action, not resources to be owned. Rothbard emphasized free markets over government-enforced monopolies.
Kinsella defends individual rights to physical property, suggesting artists should protect their work through contracts, not IP laws. Eye-opening insights! #Art #PropertyRights #AustrianEconomics #HumanAction
👇
#propertyrights should only apply to physical, scarce resources like land, objects, or one’s own body—not to ideas or intangible creations.
ideas are non-scarce and can be shared or used by multiple people without depriving others of their use. For Kinsella, granting exclusive rights to ideas through intellectual property (IP) laws is unjust and contradicts the principles of true property rights.
In his view, true ownership is about tangible items that require ownership to prevent conflicts. Ideas, however, should remain free and unowned, cultivating innovation and the free exchange of knowledge.
For artists and creators, Kinsella suggests using voluntary agreements (like contracts) rather than relying on government-enforced IP laws to protect their work.
