Kinsella On Liberty show

Summary: Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 316.<br> <br> At the prodding of Peter Schiff's son, who, unlike his dad, is anarchist, pro-bitcoin, and opposed to intellectual property, I had a discussion with Peter about IP. Didn't fully succeed in converting him to the anti-IP cause, but made a bit of headway. We also talked a bit about bitcoin, and the Saipan and Puerto Rico tax breaks available to Americans. It begins a bit abruptly, since we were chatting initially before I had started on the IP topic and we began talking about bitcoin, and it didn't seem like it was going to quickly end, so I hit record and we talked about bitcoin before getting around to IP and a few other topics like defamation, Saipan, etc.<br> <br> Additional resources:<br> <br> Kinsella, Intellectual Property and Libertarianism“<br> ———, “Legal Scholars: Thumbs Down on Patent and Copyright” (Oct. 23, 2012)<br> ———, “The Overwhelming Empirical Case Against Patent and Copyright” (Oct. 23, 2012)<br> Boldrin &amp; Levine, Against Intellectual Monopoly<br> Boldrin and Levine: The Case Against Patents<br> The Effects of Patent and Copyright on Hollywood Movies
