I think I agree with you in general. Its interesting, because on the one hand these laws exist for the theft and abuse in the market that a lack of IP laws allowed in the past. Yet the current implementation is an embarrassing mockery of a system for protecting property. The current IP office and laws literally cannot do the job they're made to do. Hard as they might try. But as long as we continue to be a market economy, it seems there must still be some regulation of IP. Though I can't say with an specificity what that should look like. I personally don't like the idea of intellectual property, but I can still see the value of protections for it. I'd like to see much, much shorter time frames for exercising IP ownership and a perhaps some kind of licensing fee/tax to encourage productivity and innovation. You're not going to mess around with something you have to pay to upkeep and you're likely to actively develop your idea into a product or else sell it. This would favor incumbents in a way that's justifiable I think.
