At worst “intellectual property” produces nice paradoxes. Like this one: “Scientist has to pay to access his own paper“. The irony is thick when it turns out that when the paper left the scientist’s table, it was licensed with a Creative Commons license.

In ancient Rome the publisher – the copier – did not pay the poet anything. If something was “printed” on paper – i.e. carved, copied, or written on a piece of material – that which was on that material was looked upon as belonging to the owner of that material. Thus, the poet starved.
