Fuck intellectual property, all my friends hate the intellectual property
"Intellectual property" is a corpo term, and using it accepts their framing. They're trying to conflate copyright, trademark, and patent law with property law.
I mean, that's exactly what all three of those were intended to do -- carry property law over into a domain where it clearly doesn't make sense. so it's fully . none of them should exist.
Seconded. Enclosing the commons and doing a little primitive accumulation to actual knowledge. Love when a private corporations own colors, random snippets of genome, common words and phrases, and endless inventions that they're squatting on to ensure they don't compete with their own products.
