The Tragedy of the Commons in the Rentier Mind :: Peter Frase
http://www.peterfrase.com/2015/02/the-tragedy-of-the-commons-in-the-rentier-mind
The Tragedy of the Commons in the Rentier Mind. February 12th, 2015 Published in anti-Star Trek. Complementing my last post, here’s a story about the twisted ideology that now surrounds intellectual property, where IP is considered not just as utilitarian necessity, but as some kind of inherent natural right. In the most absurd form, it is seen as a moral responsibility for creators to zealously defend any IP they can get their hands on, and maximize whatever amount of money they can squeeze out of it.

http://www.peterfrase.com/2012/05/new-works-and-anti-works
New Works and Anti-Works. May 4th, 2012 Published in Shameless self-promotion. I’ll blame my recent silence on the fact that I was moving again—as of Tuesday, I’m back in the Grand Duchy. Clearly either the spirits of the Haymarket martyrs or the exploited employees of British Airways were punishing me for traveling on Mayday, because I ended up spending the better part of 24 hours waiting in lines, being redirected to unexpected cities, and having my luggage lost. Consider that lesson learned. Where we ...
