Just wanted to chip in saying that I completely agree with you. Intellectual property is an idea from last century or older. It doesn't have a place in this new century. Those "sensible" systems will have to change. Instead of incentivising people to find high value numbers by this artificial scarcity, number searchers will have to find other ways to get paid. That's all. People that pick up the trash in public parks don't get paid over and over for the beautiful work they did. They have to do it again and again as most of us, once the product of our time is out.
