A better world by removing IP protection or the cheapest copycat wins by removing IP protection.
I just think it has to be tweaked for preventing abuse. But it had it's advantages.
If you remove IP protection, why would a company spend millions on research on R&D to innovate something.
Look at the products that got copied from Kickstarter by China before they launched, those people really got their dream crushed.
Ps. Kinect was just an example, look for the bigger picture ;)

These Chinese companies are supposedly taking pre-validated (via crowd funding) ideas from Kickstarter and then manufacturing them. How is this a bad thing? It introduces a desirable competition for the best ability to execute on those plans.

They mostly want funds to manufacture the product, because not everyone can spend money for a MOQ manufacturing run... What they do is unethical.
