Adam vs. the Man on IP

Adam vs. the Man on IP

At the same time the vested interests try to ratchet up and expand IP,1  anti-IP awareness is spreading. Jeff Tucker emailed me about an anti-IP post from the Adam Smith Institute, which was then itself carried on the Christian Science Monitor, exclaiming “This is what a revolution looks like!” And just today I had this post from the Black Agenda Report called to my attention, Who You Callin’ A Pirate?!?! There’s also a growing internet furor over the RIAA’s attempts to obliterate the Fourth Amendment by seeking legislation to permit the po-po to conduct warrantless searches of suspected copyright infringers. The RIAA has become an agent of the state.

Just tonight I appeared on Adam vs. the Man (Episode #28), a great show hosted by Adam Kokesh on the RT network. He has a great segment arguing for IP abolitionism, and had me on as a guest near the end. The video is below.

*** Adam vs. the Man begins at the 15:30 mark in the video:

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
