states that in a libertarian society, streets and government assemblies would be privately owned and the problem of allocation of scarce resources would be resolved without violating anyone's property rights. The conflict between residents and businesses, such as McDonald's, could also be resolved, and street-owners would have the right to decide who would have access to those streets, keeping out "undesirables" if they so wished. Views on intellectual property Chapter 16, "Knowledge, True and False", discusses the property rights theory and how it can help to solve issues relating to knowledge dissemination. He poses a question whether a person, Smith, has the right to print and distribute statements about another person, Jones, such as "Jones is a liar," "Jones is a convicted thief," or "Jones is a homosexual." There are three possibilities about the truth of such a statement: that it is true, false, or that the truth or falsity of the statement is a gray area. If the statement is definitely true, then Smith has a right to print and disseminate it. It is also Jones' right to rebut the statement. The current libel laws make Smith's action illegal if done with "malicious" intent, even if the information is true. However, legality or illegality should depend not on the motivation of the actor, but on the objective nature of the act. Rothbard argues that there is no such thing as a right to privacy, except the right to protect one's property from invasion. The only proper course is to maintain that no one has any spurious "right to privacy," or right not to be mentioned publicly; while everyone has the right to protect his property against invasion. No one can have a property right in the knowledge in someone else’s head. Rothbard also argues that there is no "right to know," and there is only the right of the knower to either disseminate his knowledge or to keep silent. No particular profession, such as newspapermen, lawyers, doctors, priests, and psychoanalysts, has any special "privileges" of confidentiality allegedly accruing to them. Finally, he argues that everyone has the same right in his person and in the goods that he finds, inherits, or buys, and it is illegitimate to make distinctions in property right between one group of people and another. Rothbard discusses the right to protect sources of information, and argues that everyone should have the right to be silent
