MisesWiki:Call to Action/Intellectual Property

This Call to Action is closed now - but feel free to reopen it!

Please expand and improve the articles on Intellectual Property and related pages. There is a great discussion raging about this topic and there is much to learn. The Mises Wiki should document this debate.

The ultimate goal: Create a solid introduction for anyone who is interested in the topic. Both sides of the discussion should be covered in good detail.

Current aspirations:

Things to do:
 * Detail the types of IP - main types done, some lesser types need pages
 * Process this monster of a resource, and this and this!
 * The without IP and costs pages have grown nicely and could use some polishing (and possible more content).
 * There's still much to add.
 * Analyze the arguments for and against IP - see if there's anything missing.

Done:
 * ✅ take apart Kinsella's Against Intellectual Property and use it for the wiki pages.
 * ✅ take apart the book Against Intellectual Monopoly to get more examples and arguments - done, but there's still a lot of valuable content
 * ✅ create a good page about the Costs of Intellectual Property (lawsuits, research, etc)
 * ✅ Without Intellectual Property (alternatives, success stories without IP, ideas)
