What "subvertion" are you talking about? That's the state of affairs 
on this planet (apart from North Korea... the GNU Republic instilled 
in your mind by Stallman & Co. aside for a moment) already. You're 
trying to subvert, not me.

Intellectual property represents the property of your mind or 
intellect. It can be an invention, trade mark, original design or 
the practical application of a good idea. In business terms, this 
means your proprietary knowledge - a key component of success in 
business today. It is often the edge which sets successful 
companies apart and as world markets become increasingly 
competitive, protecting your intellectual property becomes 
essential.

Confidential information (also referred to as trade secrets), 
patents, registered designs, trade marks, copyright, circuit 
layout rights and plant breeder's rights are all legally 
classified as IP rights.

This section of the IP Australia web site will give you a brief 
overview of all the different forms of IP. To begin the 
introduction, start here.

I suggest you relocate to North Korea and enjoy "freedom" first 
hand.
