Masnick takes on Wayne Root

Mike Masnick writes:

However, the split among libertarians over intellectual property rights fascinates me. There is a large group of libertarians who are against intellectual property rights (or, at least in favor of weakening them drastically). And then there's another camp that are very much in favor of intellectual property rights (and for making them much stronger).

This is more about who/what is "libertarian" than about "plagiarize with pride."

*****Separately,

does anything in THE UNTRUTHINESS VALLEY remind one of Masnick's frequent invocation of Swizerland in the time of "no patents"?
