[…] I understand that not all Libertarians reject IP rights, but this article is not another debate about the rationality and morality of copyrights and patents because we have had those debates in past (For copyrights, and Against copyrights arguments). […]

copyfascism 'kä-pē-fa,shi-zəm\ - the belief in a state-granted monopoly on ideas and information utilizing governmental power and coercion in breaching free speech and private property rights, and the forcible suppression of creativity and innovation.

I coined the term in 2006 (in Flickr in one of my first verbal salvos against the whole concept) when I realized that the entire copyright regime is nothing more than a collusion between big business and government. It is detrimental to creativity and innovation.

Stephan Kinsella is the forefront of this libertarian opposition to the misconception that intellectual property is somewhat akin to private property, when it in fact the former subverts the latter.

What actually is copyright and its violation-
Consider an education class. The lecturer provides knowledge about a subject, discusses various aspects of it. The students listens, analysis and understands.
Some students are interested in learning, and applying further mind, developing innovating knowledge, they remain attentive in class and provide their individual efforts for the development of subject and related knowledge. They pays their hardwork to it.
Other student who are not interested in learning and don’t want to put any hard work any effort, bunks classes, enjoys porns and videogames and never studies.
It is freedom of individual. If you don’t want to come in class, attend lecturers, learn study and pay your efforts to a subject, then it is your choice. you can surely enjoy your video games and porns. Nothing wrong in that.
But then comes the thesis time.
To provide a note, that this person under this standard education system (Obviously private or public whatever) has completed his effortfull study about a particular subject and has submitted his effortfull theisis analysis under this name.
Every student want it. that who was actually interested in learning and developing more, put up his hardwork, his mind, his intellect, and developed the theisis, and submitted it. He expects good grades and a recognition for his work.
On the other hand, the other students who never wanted to study, who never attended classes, who never applied their efforts and mind to understand and further develop the subject, now even they also want the profit of the Hardworker student who put up their effort in evolving knowledge.
So such theifs and marxists and leftist anarchist like the writer of this post, steals the hardwork of the honest genuinely devoted student. They hacks their effort and submits it on their name.
Like in a written test, some student comes up with their own efforts and studies and writes the paper, while some never learns, never do studies or any hardwork. They makes chits and copies, they cheats in examination room and copies from the hardworking students answersheet to get same marks as that student who did the hardwork.
These anarchists says that there is nothing wrong in cheating, in chitmaking in copying. and since they copied in their answer sheets, hence they should also get same marks as that of the student who really worked hard.
Because according to these anarchists, hardwork has no value, the effort of the innovator, the inventor, the knowledge developer has no value.
They want to legalize the cheating.

What they don’t understand is, if all will be allowed to cheat, why will any single body try to put real effort?
If the hardworker won’t be allowed to get any incentive for his hard work and his hardwork will be forcefully distributed by these anarchists to the other lazy and never working anarchist brothers, then why the hell wil he put any effort?
He will also stop working hard.
It is just similar to http://www.reasonforliberty.com/current-affairs/the-story-of-socialism-public-welfare-and-brain-drain.html
