Interesting. I wonder if he wrote a chapter on it, but then it was decided to be left out or something (for the obvious controversy it'd draw within the libertarian movement). So as a political book - why would you put something in that would draw people away from further investigating the political philosophy as opposed to becoming more interested? Or that it is very unlikely to change someones mind on the issue in such a short chapter?

That's one side of the coin.

Pretty disappointing though I spouse.. If the youth are his target audience etc.. IP is illegitimate is one of those issues that can be appealing.

Does Ron have a chapter on IP in his Liberty Defined? Anyone know?

No2statism said IP was a glaring omission from Ron's book.

"Me too. Does anyone know how this situation came about? Who is the copyright holder and why would HHH choose to publish through a publisher that would not allow it to be put online?"

Going to ask the same of RP... I take it is a condition to get in with the main publishers, i.e those that get you in the top 10 on NYT Best Seller list... so there's a trade off.

For Hoppe though, no idea why that'd be any consideration.

"Can the government force certain businesses to charge a minimum price just to protect politically connected companies from competition? That is the question the Institute for Justice and three of its clients want answered in a federal lawsuit filed today in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Their lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of Nashville’s new limousine and sedan regulations, including a $45 fare minimum for car service. The plaintiffs own affordable limousine and sedan services and charge an average of $25 per trip."

"You're likely working under a different meaning of 'scientific method' than I am. To me, the scientific method is the method of science. This means there is only one method. And the problem with positivists is that they are not scientific."

Yeah, I was operating under the mainstream definition. When anyone uses it, I'm assuming that's what they mean.

The Oxford English Dictionary says that scientific method is: "a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses."^[3]

Though I understand the uses of co-opting the phrase.

Anyway...! @ everyone...

I am wondering, when will Hoppe's Democracy The God that Failed... be removed from the webs of IP? Why is it not already online free in pdf?

Probably already answered somewhere... I think it's a big loss is all. Plus I want to look for a passage.

Nielsio, those are very nice videos! I could not help myself ask the question - can you imagine how much more well these communities would live if their incentives were not distorted by the State (since what they are doing is considered illegal by State law)? :)
