Re: Property is theft
>This article conflates and confuses 3 entirely separate property rights which have nothing to do with each other,<
It's worse than that, because the 3 legislative property rights have been stretched out of all shape to cover new ideas like software and interface design and biomedical research: stuff that doesn't comfortably sit in the old categories at all.
Done, as far as I can observe, mostly to force the new developments into the framework of international treaty protection, not because the new IP fitted the old legislation in any logical or just way.
