This, unironically. 40% of the population is creative to some degree. Intellectual property law exists to monopolise the intellectual capital that creative types produce. The constant expansion of IP law has the goal of monetising the exercise of a fundamental necessary impulse.

You misunderstand. The whole point is that it's bad and needs to be dispensed with. Imagine telling a child who has just received a gift from her parents, "You didn't earn that, you must give it up or you're evil."
