I know the purpose of this animation is not to explain liberty's every tiny detail, but still there are some things which I do not understand completely.
If some other person has stolen from me, don't I have the right to initiate force against that other person to get my property back? Or, if I'm a weakling, wouldn't I have the right to ask some other person to initiate force against the thief in my behalf? What about murder, then, since I won't be around to initiate force against anyone?
And also, what constitutes property? Certainly, an idea of mine is the product of my labour, time, energy, and talent, but I think we can both agree property doesn't apply to ideas. What if I record a song an publish and sell discs all by myself (as some early black metal bands did in Norway, for example)? What does it take for my creations to be my property? Why is it not wrong to copy and share my creations all over the internet?
All in all, I liked it, even though I found it a bit ambiguous.
