Intellectual property, that is what patent and copyright is intended to protect. Have you seen the movie Flash of Genius. How do you suppose the inventor would have fared without patents? The only one who truly profits from removal of patent protection is the large company who is then free to steel intellectual property and by virtue of it's existing market share, resources and existing business infrastructure, profit from that innovation. Why should the independent inventor waste his efforts?
copyright&patent continuously limits real innovation. it destroys scarce resources and hinders innovation from being possible. Just look at the story of the cotton gin & the wright brothers. Its hard to really claim that patents or copyright really has any utility other than in the propagation of state granted monopolies. The very history of patents & copyrights lies in state granted monopolies & censorship so its a wonder why anyone would think that these institutions would result in otherwise
