Hey mateys!

I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.

And that is exactly what is happening today. Do you think IP is not exploited by the big rich companies in such a way that it helps them? A small author won't have the same opportunities as a big publisher, who will exploit him to the hilt. But the problem is that now the publisher gets the lion's share of the licensing costs for the duration of the IP licence and the author can't sell it anywhere else because he is bound.
