Kinsella los enumera (¿y los rebate?) en pocas líneas:
1. It's in the constitution (argument from authority; legal positivism)
2. Intellectual property is called property! (argument by definition?)
3. No movies would be made and kids would die without medicine (artworks and medicine have been produced for ages without IP law; and where's the evidence?)
4. If you "create" something you own it (despite all the exceptions, and despite the fact that creation is neither necessary nor sufficient for ownership; despite the fact that you either limit these rights in scope or time arbitrarily, or you extent them to infinity, choking off rights in real things and forcing life and commerce to a screeching halt)
5. It generates net wealth--more value than its cost (no evidence, ever, for this contention--just assumptions; not to mention the problem of utilitarian summing of values)
6. IP infringement is "theft" (even though the owner still has his property and ideas, and even though IP infringement is just learning and emulating)
7. People "could" create variants of IP via private contracts... therefore artifical patent granting bureaucracies legislated by a criminal state are ... justified?
