Its not the listener who we serve with intellectual property, its the creator. Of course the listener loses no value, because they in fact do not own the intellectual property, they possess the ability to benefit from it.

If there is no protection for intellectual property, its not the listener who loses utility, its the owner of the intellectual property who would like to be rewarded for his work.

The GP post had a sole purpose, to explain scarcity.

I was just correcting your statement that there is no inherent scarcity with intellectual property.
