Intellectual property will become even more of a problem in a post scarcity society. Those that hold the IP will not want to give it up just because it's value is no longer in the physical creation.

The music recording industry is effectively already becoming a post scarcity industry, and look how unwilling they are to give up their copyrights. Industries will cling on to things like rights to reproduce, rights to distribute etc. Don't expect these problems to go away because of some sci-fi future tech.
