Default Re: Two points against Intellectual property laws

Why does everyone not understand this simple concept? An idea is not bound to being in one physical location like a chair is. If I have a chair, it means everyone else does not have that chair. If I have an idea, it DOES NOT mean that I am depriving anyone else of posession of it.

You are confusing scarcity with rareness. An idea might be rare, but this does not mean it is scarce.
