You are right that I am against European intellectual property and intellectual property in general.
The industry should be open for or even leading modern lifestyle trends of rich modern free societies. In particular, I think these EU politics are insane and extremely costly and prohibitive and detrimental too a modern society:

Poverty is detrimental to everyone and everything except slave holders and wage slavery.
A rich neighbor is better than a poor neighbor.
Technology removes poverty.
EU manufacturing has been transferred to China because of competition by low wages. As China advances, the people in China will hopefully demand a better quality of life instead of engaging in competition by low wage and low quality of life.
I am European and I hope that Europe will benefit the world by proposing a good lifestyle for modern wealthy societies and related products. I doubt that IP and keeping the rest of the world poorer and less developed is economically and technically and morally the right approach.

Unlike most physical goods, information can benefit everyone at almost no additional cost.
The sooner China and any other country can advance science and world class technology, the better for everyone. Europe will then "steal" from them.
If Chinese companies can produce products like cars and solar panels that help to fight climate change and air pollution and destruction of the environment for fossil fuel then they deserve their profits even more while VW and BMW do not.
