As the lecturer for an upcoming Mises Academy course (Study Libertarian Legal Theory Online with Stephan Kinsella), I have to say, I like the idea of Grayson Lilburnd in this Mises Blog post 🙂 Just in time for the holidays, now you can purchase a Mises Academy course as a gift, and actually have a […]
From The Libertarian Standard, Nov. 19, 2010. Any updates to this post will be made here. Justice and Property Rights: Rothbard on Scarcity, Property, Contracts… Rothbard has so many amazing works. Some of my favorite of his articles include “The Mantle of Science,” “Law, Property Rights, and Air Pollution” (pdf), “Beyond Is and Ought,” “Toward […]
This is one of the stupidest propaganda pieces I’ve ever seen. Pathetic. But it does a good job of mimicking the typical glassy-eyed brainwashed arguments given for intellectual property. [TLS]
As a followup to various posts (The L. Neil Smith – FreeTalkLive Copyright Dispute (archived comments); Recent Blogposts on The Libertarian Standard and Mises Blog; Russell Madden’s “The Death Throes of Pro-IP Libertarianism”; Replies to Neil Schulman and Neil Smith re IP; see also Jeff Tucker, L. Neil Smith on IP), I see Smith has posted another […]
That I did not cross-post here: Stefan Molyneux’s “Libertarian Parenting” Series Stefan Molyneux, of Freedomain Radio, has recently had a very interesting series of interviews on “libertarian parenting”.

From the Mises blog; archived comments below. Watch Importation, Copyright, and the First-Sale Doctrine In Cutting edges, blogger Peter Gordon relates a fascinating case where Swiss watchmaker Omega found a brilliantly evil trick using IP law to crack down on innocent market activity. Omega sells its watches for far less money in some countries than in […]
My article, “The Death Throes of Pro-IP Libertarianism,” was published on Mises Daily today. Also published today on Mises Daily is a reprint of Wendy McElroy’s great, classic “Copyright and Patent in Benjamin Tucker’s Periodical Liberty.” *** Amusing: on the “Christian Pipe Smokers” site (hunh?), one guy links to my article and says “This is […]
I had the good fortune to attend to the Fifth Annual (2010) Meeting of Dr. Hans-Hermann Hoppe‘s Property and Freedom Society (PFS) earlier this month. It was held in beautiful Bodrum, Turkey at the Hotel Karia Princess, from June 3-7, 2010. For those interested, I provide my own (somewhat personal, no doubt partial) report below. […]
