I'm not advocating for IP laws, I agree they're not conducive to prosperity. What I'm against is abuse of trust between business partners, theft of information for political gain or commercial exploitation (counterfeit products), and general dishonesty and deceitfulness. I'm not well versed in game theory, but if tit-for-tat is a winning strategy, it's unreasonable to continue to cooperate with a party that actively tries to screw everyone else over at every turn.
