Network effects are far more powerful than IP. Witness the fact that >50% of Twitter's users hate it and think everyone should leave but they are still using it because they are still using it. Without IP the owners of the core hubs of network effects could take all intellectual products, monopolize them, and rent them back to us. We would be unable to resist because network effects are more powerful than we are as individuals.
