Does it suggest that system of IP is genuinely designed and deployed to protect art? Or capricious exercise of state power?

- randombits0 5y agoI will double down with, no, the system of IP is not intended to protect art. The whole concept of IP is antithetical to the intent of copyright. “Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the United States Constitution grants Congress the enumerated power "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."” https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/intellectual_property_clause https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/intellectual_property_clause
