Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 416.

Last year Larken Rose and I appeared on Patrick Smith's Disenthrall show, after Rose had posted some videos criticizing libertarians who pirated the HBO show "The Anarchists" as "poopheads," even though he technically opposes IP. Or claims to. According to Rose, you should "throwing a couple dollars towards HBO" or something, to avoid being a poophead. He granted that someone pirating an already-leaked video file is not committing aggression (they have no contract with the creator), but they are a "jerk." Or "poop head." After all, the "creator" of the "content" put his "labor" into it and didn't "want it" to be pirated. And his "business model" depends on people "not pirating it." 

Or something. So you are a "poophead" if you mess up their unrealistic business model.

This is my video commentary on his remarks.  Part 2 of 3.
