When you don't defend something like a property, profit goes out of building it. And that's the opposite of what we want to do in a capitalist society. Building intellectual property is a positive-sum thing. It makes humanity better. This is something we want to reward, make profitable.

Nonsense, it's anti-competitive. It works against the theoretical benefits of the private economy.

[bboygravity]

Maintaining monopolies through artificially raising the barier to entry for their competition (patents) is the exact opposite of capitalism.

[stoperaticless]

Opposite of free market. Capitalism = private ownership and profit from ownership.
