This is a tone deaf take that ignores the massive imbalance in how IP law is wielded by large corporations vs individuals or small firms.

No, it’s the most empowering thing humanity has ever constructed to wrestle the beast of IP and make it an irrelevant footnote in the human story. Deckchairs on the titanic.
If one wastes their life in court, arguing 19th century myths, that’s on the players.

IP law is not going away for “little people” like us until we collectively overturn the existing political regime which grants more rights to corporations than people.

IP being used by small firms instead of large corporations does not make it a good thing. It's the same disgusting concept to deny freedom for end users to give control to who "owns" the IP.
IP as a concept needs to die.

Yes it does, but if you think that's going to happen on its own by allowing the largest corporations to run roughshod over everyone else, you're going to be disappointed. True freedom takes struggle.
