Bold of you to be critical of capitalism around here; but I can't completely disagree with you. IP rights exist as a result of state force; copyright and patents can't really exist without it. They are fundamentally reliant upon the state using its force to censure those who use intellectual property without authorization. And yes, before someone states as much: digitally enforced proof of ownership is just an automated, digital state. But capitalism doesn't require intellectual property to operate, and so I wouldn't call censorship a crucial foundation of capitalism.
