This is fundamentally incorrect. I'd also wager that more than 50% of the commenters on here benefit from robust IP protection.

While this is true, 100% of the commenters here also give up a "natural" right to copy certain information for robust IP protection. At the extreme end, this can result in absurdities like the attempt to ban dissemination of the DeCSS key for DVDs.

> give up a "natural" right to copy certain information

Practical as it may be, that's not a natural right but merely a physical possibility. More generally, the concept of natural rights - except for a very narrow niche of special subjects closely centered on the individual's own life and bodily autonomy - is a shortcut to total subjectivity at best. And even for that very narrow niche, the "rights" part is a normative civilizational convention/construct, whereas nature conspicuously ignores such "rights" (as do humans for the most part when it comes to other species)

Many here benefit from the industry and economy associated with IP, only a very small few actually benefit from ownership of IP.

Without ownership of IP, industry and economy don’t exist. You can’t sell or rent something you don’t own.
