IP exists to benefit [corporations](corporation.md), it artificially limits the natural [freedom of information](information_freedom.md) and tries to eliminate freedom and competition of the IP owners, it fuels [consumerism](consumerism.md) (for example a company can force deletion of old version of its program in order to force users to buy a new version), it helps keep malicious features in programs (by forbidding any study and modifications) and forces reinventing wheels which is extremely energy and resource wasting, whose side effect (or rather one of many side effects) is of course destroying the whole [Earth](earth.md). IP creates a kind of [artificial scarcity](artificial_scarcity.md), i.e. in a world where any information once created would be abundant, available to everyone, IP kills this abundance so as to create a new "market" and [bullshit](bullshit.md) businesses and slaveries such as various IP law firms, patent offices, brand protections, copyright verification for courts, [DRM](drm.md) programmers and so on. Without IP everyone would be happy, able to study, share, improve, [remix](remix_culture.md) and combine existing technology and art into amazing things.
Only idiots defend IP -- basically just [capitalists](capitalists.md). They give absolutely invalid arguments like "but without IP there would be no progress" etc. Of course there would be [progress](progress.md), progress can't be stopped even if you try. Capitalists are amazingly retarded creatures.

Many people protest against the idea of IP -- either wanting to abandon the idea completely, as [we](lrs.md) do, or at least arguing for great relaxation the insanely strict and aggressive forms that destroy our society. Movements such as [free software](free_software.md) and [free culture](free_culture.md) have come into existence in protest of IP laws. Of course, capitalists don't give a shit. It can be expected the IP [cancer](cancer.md) will be reaching even more extreme forms very soon, for example it will be perpetual and encompassing such things as mere though (thoughts will be monitored and people will be charged for thinking about ideas owned by corporations).
