IIPA claims "open source [...] fails to build respect for intellectual property rights". Wtf does that even mean ? Not respecting ip rights is one thing, but since when is anyone's obligation to build respect for ip right ?



Since respect for IP rights was elevated to the status of human rights... or higher, since the US seems to put HR on the back burner whenever it threatens commercial or business interests.
