I understand the appeal ideologically, but in practice what you are suggesting would increase inequality.
Is there a book on coping strategies you would recommended?

I guess my point is that my point is that ip is a liscense to manufacture and/or distribute rather than a total monopoly on the idea or demand for the product.
Any competitor could limit your opportunity by releasing a functionally similar non infringing product. Would you choose the word 'robbing' in that circumstance?
One would have to use your ip to create a competing product before it would even be copyright infringement, and it still wouldn't be theft since you cannot steal somthing intangible since by definition it only exists as an abstraction which is not the same as zero valued tangible inventory.
Additionally it's not inventory because it is not finite. There is a distinction made by GAAP regarding valuation of tangible vs intangible assets because it is much more complex process to valuate intangible assets such as ip.

The deflation and high transaction fees seem to favor btc bc miners wouldn't shift to somthing less profitable and those using btc as a value store profit from deflation long term.
Pollution and resource scarcity are the obvious limits that can send population numbers off a cliff.
>lets get it done as cheaply and with as little market distortion as possible.
Why do people act like they're paying for personally? This was already agreed upon by communication companies when they were allowed to monopolize much higher ROI urban markets. The whole point was that the high ROI markets would fund the development of the rest of the infrastructure.
Sandbagging the bandwidth of the rural markets is creating an information void that ends up sandbagging support for research and development in other areas.
Offtopic I know, but quantitavie economics and bureaucracies were both borne out of agriculture; before that value was subjective.
