Hi, i’m a libertarian from Brazil. I really admire your work. I only think that in this debate you might have stressed that knowledge (information) is not a rival good (not scarce). So he can’t argue that copy a book is hurt anyone property rights. The means used to make the book are scarce, not the content itself.
