No they don't. Quite the opposite: they prevent small businesses from innovating, as they're hampered by the legal minefields of patent and copyright infringement. They only benefit large corporations that already have a legal team and their own patent portfolio to bargain with.
Two lies that can be ignored; a rich man telling you what's best for the poor and a large corporation telling you what's best for small business :-)
