A Critique of Ayn Rand's Theory of Intellectual Property Rights
2007 · cited by 3
Abstract Ayn Rand viewed copyrights and patents as natural rights that were secured by legislation, rather than as monopoly privileges that were created by the state. Other Objectivist writers have followed suit. This article disputes this thesis on the grounds that it fails to recognize the distinction between the right to use and the right to exclude, the latter of which cannot be justified with regard to intellectual property on Objectivist premises. In addition, the article discusses three significant objections to the natural-rights interpretation of copyright that Objectivist authors have failed so far adequately to address.

Do libertarians like Robert Nozick and Ayn Rand agree with the idea of enforcing intellectual property?
2016 · cited by 0
Some libertarians oppose patents and copyrights in principle, see Kinsella's manifesto Against Intellectual Property . A common view is that due to its reproducibility (e.g. "theft" does not deprive the owner of the use of his/her creation or invention) "intellectual property" lacks a crucial feature of being "property". The alternative interpretation is of a government enforced temporary monopoly to encourage creativity and invention. This follows the wording of the patents and copyrights clause of the US constitution : " promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries ". At this point there is a bifurcation, minimal government libertarians recognize that as a legitimate purpose but insist that the law be targeted and short term. Rand however goes even further and end
