Property is definitely theft. Is intellectual property theft too?We're talking about a lot of dumb things that have happened lately because of this idiotic notion of intellectual property. For instance, Metallica getting censored for playing Metallica is pretty funny. Side note--there's a tagential discussion about Metallica and our favorite Christian Rock band KoRn.Also we talked a bit about the notion of intellectual property when it comes to the vaccine, and how--say what you will about North Korea--the reports that they've hacked into Pfizer and stolen the vaccine is as based as it is funny. But since recording the episode new reports have emerged about global disparities in vaccine access, from the horror show in India to news that the developing world might not get vaccinated until 2023.Is intellectual property theft? Maybe not in the case of Metallica, but definitely in the case of Pfizer. Liberate the vaccines!Just another reminder that this is episode was recorded a month ago to accommodate Adam's parental leave. So we don't discuss, for instance, the very obvious NEW grift of intellectual property--Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). But... they are obvious grifts.Enjoy! We should be back to our regular schedule sometime this month.If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider giving to us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/futureleft If you enjoyed this podcast but can't support us with money, consider helping us get the word out by sharing us on social media or recommending us to a friend.
