I don't know about a majority. This poll, while hardly conclusive, suggests at least a sympathy for the "IP is imaginary!" crowd. http://news.ycombinator.com/

  No, it really doesn't. There are 3/28 votes for abolishing copyright, 1/28 for the current system as-is and the bulk, 24/28, for retaining copyright with some reforms. Supporting copyright reform is solidly opposed to the "IP is imaginary!" crowd. Supporting reform means valuing the concept of copyright and wanting to see it work better. The "IP is imaginary!" crowd would much rather see the current system collapse under its own weight as a path towards getting copyright abolished.
