New technologies are also firing the debate over the balance between Lockean private property and collective ownership. Modern technologies, especially computers, create new forms of intellectual property that, unlike other types of property, can be copied and consumed by a number of different individuals at once. Locke's view, and the view of some utilitarians, is that the mental labor that creates the property creates the property rights over that product. Socialists point out that artists, writers, and thinkers have always created works without any financial incentive. Should new scientific and engineering discoveries be protected as private property? Should these things be shared by the society that made their discovery possible
