True. Like I said to nfactor13, the actual (expected) norms favoring IP screen off all other factors. Whether people generally respect IP because of religion, cultural norms, or successful police prodding is irrelevant once potential creators form a belief about how well their exclusivity is respected.
That might be a hard sell, especially to libertarians. I’m not sure if I missed a relevant post of yours on it. While I accept that in the sense that you’re concerned about it, the norms favoring IP screen off other factors, that still leaves room for libertarians to say, “Well, I’m in favor of the good outcomes from respecting IP, but I’m not in favor of people making me respect IP at gunpoint”.
There are plenty of things that I don’t do that I nonetheless don’t want there to be laws against.
Yes, I was only saying it screens off one set of factors with respect to some what potential creators plan to do; that doesn’t deny that someone could still dislike some of the screened off factors.
Also, I’m not sure that being “pro-good outcomes” is a political position, at least not a meaningful one. Besides, the people I’m arguing against don’t even seem to seem to regard it as good, even on the level of “this would be polite” to honor IP claims, although they eventually shift back and forth on this.
