So it really makes more sense to say that contracts should be voluntary, after that the market should sort out networks contracts of who gets to use what exist. The market comes to a set of agreements that may or not match your ideas of how property works.

Also, I really wonder about how the people on twetch feel about intellectual property. Love all of it? Love seeing genes patented? Hate it? Hate how they keep extending copyrights for works already done? Love you all!

Without private property there is a war going on about all resources, unless there is an authoritarian entity controlling it - with all that implies.

We are so used private property that we forget that fact.

Private property does exist.
You own your body.

You own your body and the fruits of its labor.

If you dont, you are a slave.

About IP: Difficult topic.

CSW and Kinsella had a discussion about it.
I tend to agree with Kinsella.

Twetchers probably disagree...

Yeah for sure there's some property everyone agree on - that's why I chose the example of food - even animals show evidence of belief in private property for food, and you are right that only the most totalitarian regime could take that basic precept way.

As for owning fruits of your labor? Yeah, sure, but how much is the result of labour rather than capital? Should you pay $0.10 a follow but receive only $0.08? Is that $0.02 the unpaid fruits of your labour? Should it be $0.09? Or $0.07?
