If IP didn't exist, what would stop a a literal nobody from legally cloning a a big corporation's project the day it launches and diminishing its profits? How is that corporation supposed to pay for food so they can keep making things?
IP only ever protects the giants, the smaller you are, the more useless it is. What, you're going to go to court and pay a lawyer over someone """""""stealing""""""" your project? Lmao. Whereas D*sney or N*ntendo can sue literal nobodies into the ground for daring to hack their consoles or games.
Consider for a second what IP actually is: a license to call police on your ass because you copied something without permission. Calling organized armed men who are authorized to kill those who resist *because of fucking copying and distributing of files*. Now it sounds absurd, doesn't it? Because it is absurd. There's a time and place for the threat of deadly force, and copying ones and zeros is NOT that time and place.
