There’s a public appetite for all sorts of intellectual property. Popular music is funded by artists who sell parts of their rights to their profits from music and recordings. As opposed to a patronage model, intellectual property allows for people to engage in the market with their published works. Intellectual property has lots of problems of course but it is also the model that replaced patronage as we transitioned from the ancien regime into our contemporary politic-economic system.
