"Intellectual property rights" is a concept made by greedy proprietors to build monopolies and keep competition out. It's no chance it was strongly pushed by Disney, and in its current form goes against the society interests as a whole. It is sold maliciously as "it incentivizes creative work", but how does "life of the author + 50 years" incentivize the author to keep creating? It just incentivizes them to keep exploiting.
Now I think we'd all agree to something more realistic to actually protect authors, like 10-30 years protection from publication. But every time someone brings "copyright! IP!" to ML I just laugh since it's one of the more corrupt laws that we have currently.
