>It's interesting how you seem to both agree with their stance on patents as a necessary practicality/tool but reject their reasoning.

I don't recall talking about patents explicitly, and am not sure which reasoning you are referring to. I believe that the past 100 years has shown that attempting to solve a monetary distribution problem by legally enforcing artificial scarcity in the market does not, in fact, solve the monetary distribution problem.

It's understandable that you don't know what I was referring to, because the text you replied to wasn't actually a reply to you. :)
