      If they’re already okay with IP in general, then it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch. The whole thing is imaginary, arbitrary, and couldn’t exist without the King’s government.

        Are you seriously defending it? Why don’t we attach you along with all monarchs to some cement and drop you in some river? Would be strictly beneficial for society.
