well researched paper by Professor Mossoff. It begins with an historical treatment of Locke and Anglo-American development of legally protected intellectual property and moral justification. The paper then addresses especially the Libertarian arguments against IP, including the utilitarian model of property rights in land and scarcity arguments.
