I've thought about this in relation to drug research and development. What I've imagined is that I discover a cure for cancer. But instead of marketing this to the masses, I open a small treatment center and will charge $1M for the cure. If I treat one person a year, that's not a bad income. This could become a family secret, until it's independently discovered.
I'm really interested in getting that book... Which one is better? Anyone willing to write a mini-review?
Against Intellectual Monopoly is the new one that just came out. Read the review on Mises.org. I do think that it is a more complete argument against IP than the other book. Read the PDF if you like you don't need to buy it if you don't want to.
