I wonder why the "abolishment of patent" meme has not spread yet.

Could it simply be that people have not heard of this book: http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/againstfinal.ht...

I have seen the anti-patent sentinment spread very widely in libertarians circle enough so that major libertarian think-tanks like the Ludwig von Mises insitute publishes quite a few anti-patent and anti-copyright articles.
