[ExI] intellectual property again

 Likewise, It's another topic that has been done to death, resurrected and then massacred again.
I like the tax break idea. Its like a social credit for your contribution to mankind. It would undoubtedly lead to arguments of value and reward, but something is better than nothing. If a country took up the idea it could lead to an influx of creative people, especially young folks trying to start out.

I've been struggling for an original thought here since I've done this discussion so many times on so many different forums.

How about a humble suggestion: Create a tax break for releasing creative works into the public domain.  There's currently no real incentive to ever release anything into the public domain.
