	And the new idea is based on (a lot of) old ideas. At best it's
	a new rearrangement of old elements. Especially in technical
	fields where valid ideas have to stick to physical/mathematical
	principles that are *not* invented, but discovered. 

	And at any rate, even if an idea is 'very original'(TM), it
	doesn't follow that copyright and patents are legitimate.

	Also I'd expect libertarians to be well aware of the way
	intellectual property is 'abused' for non-libertarian
	purposes, like destroying competition and censorship. Though
	arguably it's not being abused because that's the true purpose
	of IP.

	Last but not least, intellectual property is  mercantilistic
	monopoly with close ties to monarchy. As Mr. Quinn helpfully
	noted.
