One of the biggest transfers of wealth of our time is the export of technology overseas to places that don’t care about IP.
With that said, I’m more concerned about the upward transfer of wealth than IP these days, but nevertheless it’s remarkable.
This has happened before in history, except "overseas" was the Atlantic (instead of the Pacific) and the IP thief was the early American colonies (later named the USA) the the victims were the nations of Europe. This was before the Berne Convention was established in 1886 which was the first modern legal establishment of copyright.
Interesting! I haven’t thought about that time period as another transfer of knowledge.
I think the overseas transfer of IP is part of the upwards transfer of wealth. I bet that for every design PRC stole through espionage, the western owner class sold them 10 along with the factory designs and processes. All of which contributes to the upwards wealth transfer, since these designs are rarely created solely by the company owners or at all.
IPs are meant to be shared, that's why v6 got rid of NAT
