I'm not opposed to reforms to the current system, it's far from perfect. Both of the cases you mentioned have an important need for IP law.

  > Both of the cases you mentioned have an important need for IP law. Do they? BSD licensed software exists even though it waives pretty much all of the IP rights. If that was so important then how does it exist without it? There is a huge industry of people integrating various business systems together. It's a huge industry because of the combinatorial explosion of interactions between different systems, which means that every integration is different, which in turn means that the whole question of copying is moot because each one is only useful to that specific company. You can't copy it, you have to do another one because the next customer has different requirements. What does it matter whether the law prohibits copying something nobody was going to copy anyway?
