intellectual property law should be abolished.
intellectual property law is not needed to protect brand name.
anti-fraud laws protect rights of attribution.

No it wasn’t him, but that is a rather nice example. It seems to me that the same approach is open to musicians – put out a song on the internet for free, touted as ‘owned by all you people, not by some corrupt, grasping megacorps. Enjoy it, share it, sing it down the pub, then come and see me sing it with other songs for a small sum, buy a t-shirt or poster and take home a low price, high-quality video of the performance. Or shoot it on your phone if you prefer poorer quality. Come and have a good time’.

I think you would have to be a fairly incapable musician not to be able to make that business model work for you.

No, it’s not. I’ve seen in it other websites; +4 replies look uglier but they are useful indeed.

Great article, Rick.
However I think it could go further in the time – with the catholic church monopoly over the science and knowledge, enforced by the holly inquisition. Dark ages, when practically any advance was stopped in Europe for centuries.
And the history also shows the the out-timed monopolies are indefensible at the end – never mind how powerful supporters they have. The example of the East India Trading Company could be very interesting in that aspect. For it’s time it was much bigger than Apple now, but where is it today?
I would be very interested to read something from you about it – at least this company made the pirates’ name :)
