"I want you to steal what the lawyers self-interestedly call "intellectual property": Hoffman's book or my books or E=mc2 or
the Alzheimer's drug that the Food and Drug Administration is "testing"
in its usual bogus and unethical fashion. I want the Chinese to steal
"our" intellectual property, so that consumers worldwide get stuff
cheaply. I want everybody to steal every idea, book, chemical formula,
Stephen Foster lyric—all of it. Steal, steal, steal. You have my
official economic permission.
Issues and developments related to IP, AI, and OM. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published on December 11, 2025 and includes chapters on IP, AI, OM, and other emerging technologies (IoT, drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR). Preorders are available via this webpage: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/ethics-information-and-technology-9781440856662/
