I disagree. Without protections on intellectual property, innovation is harmed.

There is no incentive to invest substantial resources in development if there is no ability to profit.

If you build a building, you expect to be able to use it. If you create a product, you expect to be able to sell it. If you create a new idea, you expect to be able to monetize it.
