I'm waiting for Bono to respond here.  I know he holds a negative opinion on this concept, and I've always been intrigued by the paleolibertarian position on this issue and wondered what their arguments for it are.

Most libertarians believe that "intellectual property" is merely a synonym for "monopolistic privilege." However, there are some strains of libertarian thought (chiefly Ayn Rand's Objectivism) that do support copyrights.
Oh, I was under the imperssion that most neolibertarians were in support of intellectual property.
