[Upd-discuss] intellectual property disadvantage in economic terms

[Richard M. Stallman]

      I prepared some slides which are both
    anti-intellectual property as well 
    anti-corporation.

I think it is simplistic to be either for, or against, "intellectual
property".  These different laws are different issues.  For instance,
consider trademarks.  Trademark law is one of the laws called
"intellectual property".  I think it is very useful that companies
have labels which their competitors can't use.  I would criticize some
details in trademark law, but I support the basic idea.  How about you?
