If you do away with the concept of intellectual property, you remove the incentive to innovate. Quite simple.

I'm pretty sure nobody wants to do away with intellectual property... but false, unproven (in a court of law) accusations, especially those so boldly made from behind a screen and keyboard, should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.


Although their claims obviously haven't been verified in a court of law, I'd imagine most of these "intellectual property" snobs have downloaded music or samples and have not paid the artist who made them, but apparently that's different. Typical hypocrites. If they want to overpay for items to seem "cool", bless their hearts. I'll keep the extra money in MY pocket where it belongs :)
