"Intellectual property" is an outgrowth of the old slave system, one which declares certain activities people do to be property rather than certain people. It needs to be abolished entirely. It would be almost infinitely more efficient to do so in technical terms, allowing all technology to everyone and just pay producers according to a tax system that lets the users select where they want their money to go. However, such a system would not benefit the few who own the world, so we must destroy it first.
