      If they’re already okay with IP in general, then it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. The whole thing is imaginary, arbitrary, and couldn’t exist without the King’s government.

      Why do you want to steal from the king? :-P

        Are you seriously defending it? Why don’t we attach you along with all monarchs to some cement and drop you in some river? Would be strictly beneficial for society.
