I personally think it's fine and expect you think differently.
I'd rather not hash out an entire thing on hacker news about why IP is a well intentioned but bad idea.
Instead I prefer to argue that piracy isn't going anywhere.
Regardless of your opinions on IP, piracy is here to stay. The real questions we need to ask, imo, is how do we progress those IP based industries that have yet to find solutions to piracy.
Music has found value add services, emphasis on live music and merch, as well as a revival in vinyl interest.
Games have found early access, emphasis on online gaming, and crowdfunding.
Video and artistic content creation has found crowd funding, ad revenue, and physical sales of brand products and exclusive value adds (meet a creator).
Software has found expert training, charging for use of apis or backend driven services, charging for additional functionality, often software as complex enough that charging outright for the software and support of it is very common place. Also software highlights that even if one spends countless hours of their lives doing something for free (open source) they can easily take advantage of demand in their technical and creative skills to make a very generous wage in the market.
In conclusion there are a lot of arguments for why we should be IP bound. A lot of these are really good arguments - even the if I voraciously disagree with them. But in the end I don't think IP will win. It's better that we encourage working with solution in a framework with limited or lacking IP.
Sry 4 bad spelling. I'm the lame guy who writes walls of text on hacker news with his phone.
