Hand me over any intellectual property you own simply because I want it.. Lets not pretend there isnt a maltitude of pretty dumb laws that were passes simply because lets say "the law makers are not the sharpest tools in the shed"

However intellectual property is the creation of the government.

[pojzon]

Not in my country. Here it is a private property and also a one I can simply "refuse" to give to the goverment.

If they started to extract it by force (the same way some countries steal land) believe me, it will be a desert of dumb people here, because anyone half decent would migrate..

They don’t need to use force to extract it. All they would have to do is pass a law that said that courts would no longer enforce the limited monopoly. If you can’t sue for copyright violation then it would no longer be property.
