Did you created the language and words that you are using? The structure of the sentence ? Did you ask the permission to use them ? Be careful, or I'll call the cops.

No I was talking about the argument you used. Did you asked the permission to the author of the argument before using it ?

No, I just meant you can't copy and in the same time say that you shouldn't copy. A is A. The concept of intellectual property is a bad copy of the concept of property. And in the same time it suggests that copying is wrong. This is self-contradictory. You can not create anything out of nothing. Of course, the way you mix things is personnal. But basically, human life and human progress is based on copy.

Watch the analysis of the debate. He did answer in the debate at 1'49'55 and 2'05''40. But Walter Block didn't understand the answer.

Did you ask permission to the author of this argument before using it?

Yes. Especially when you copying while changing its purpose. To be more specific, you can copy an idea, but you can not copy an idea and implementing into it that you shouldn't copy the ideas. This is self-contradictory. Intellectual property involves the condemnation of "stolen concept". But according to its own vision, it is a stolen concept itself.

The concept of intellectual property is self-contradictory. It means coercing an individual to not copy the ideas of others, except under certain conditions. The classical concept of property doesn't mean that. Therefore, the concept of intellectual property, by copying the conventional concept of property, at least the name, and applying it differently, does the opposite of what it says by its mere existence as a concept copying another.

Walter Block contradict himself several times in this debate. And he refuses to answer some questions because there are "unproper for a libertarian" (because he doesn't understand the relation between morality and politic). Watch the analysis of the debate.

Hey Aziz, Have you already seen the debates between Jan Helfeld and the anarcho-capitalists (Walter Block, Stephan Molyneux, David Friedman, Larken Rose, etc.) on Youtube ? He made plenty of debates and he defend the limited government from an objectivist point of view.
