Libertarians who do not support #intellectualproperty often fundamentally misunderstand what and why #rightToContract is.
In a better ancap world with competing legal regimes, it would be more obvious that IP is a contract right, but the existence of the state muddies it.https://twitter.com/PerBylund/status/1439625093529886729 …
ok, so I take your argument to be "we shouldn't call training centers 'schools' and we shouldn't call tradeable contracts to use trade secrets 'IP' " and <shrug> ok, sure

Not entirely, the point is Per is arguing we shouldn’t have IP as it is understood now, and even acknowledges contractual protection of ideas. He also argues IP is actually bad for innovation. Your response was to argue it could exist in a way utterly unlike now.

We can call training centers schools cus it communicates the information with it. Its understandable. As is, calling the protection from reproduction via contracts in ancapistan “IP” conveys negative information. It requires more information to clarify, thus failing as language.
