There is no such thing as intellectual property. All information is public
domain, the government just enforces limited-time monopolies to the people
who discover or invent the information first. It is hoped that these
monopolies will motivate people to discover and invent more.

I mean, how can you own something, and then suddenly not own it just because
a specific amount of time has passed? Intellectual property is a concept that
was constructed by corporations in order to maximize profit.
