IP shouldn't exist in general.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But then how would TCP and UDP work?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

simple. TCP wouldn't, and UDP never did anyway.

and UDP never did anyway As a CS student I’ve laughed way to hard when reading this

Property other than what you personally use to live shouldn't exist, but if we're moving away from capitalism, IP is not first on the list of things to abandon

Also, I could see some forms of IP being higher on the list than others. A market socialist setup, where every company is a worker owned co-op, would still have a lot of use for Trademarks. It could be a far less abusive system than the one we have now, but we'd still want it to exist.

Market socialism itself is likely to only be a transitory step, though.

A monopoly is thought to inspire creation, if that's so IP is good, but should be on human timescales.

100 years of monopoly won't inspire me any better than 20 years, and even most cooperate products have less time in production than that
