Nice ad hominem. The problem IP laws try to solve is that the best researcher is not necessarily in the best position to execute on their discoveries. Or, worse, executing on the discovery is incredibly cheap (such as new drugs) and the value is impossible to recover. The more expensive the research, the more likely that is to be. Research either needs to be publically funded OR some kind of limited monopoly applied. None of this implies that the current IP mechanisms are not seriously broken.
