What you're trying to create needs to deal with this now simple fact:

Creation of a thing costs a lot of time and resource.

Copying said thing is trivial to the point of free.

(This is the biggest difference between our current culture, and previous years. Copying is effectively free.)

This is only true in IP heavy areas, isn't it? You still need effort to pull ore out of a mountain.

Abolish IP and treat ideas the same way bacteria swap their plasmids.

Doing that means you used to get the medieval and renaissance guild systems.

However, we already have countries that ignore copyright/patent/trademark (China). The new solution is to remove features from devices, and to tie them into some cloudshit.

We get some dog-and-pony show that cloud means we get new features, but in reality, it's just an anti-cloning tactic.
