So do you have any thoughts on how to get to a place without intellectual property?

No idea. Sadly, history seems to suggest that changes this big only come after some kind of considerable pain. Maybe it's possible to slowly evolve away from it, but I doubt I'll live to see that. As I said, I'm a terrible activist. :-)

The best I've got is to just slowly try to normalize copyright subversion. I try to do that by using the UNLICENSE in the hope that others are exposed to the idea and repeat it if they like it.
