For context, I.P. here = Intelectual Property and not Internet Protocol address. You can save a click today.

Is the answer “yes” or “no”?

I suspect the actual answer is “those with wealth will continue to amass it and those without will struggle more”

I have not read the article, just responding to title:

Hell yeah!

I do wish I.P. dead. Or at least, I wish for a much shorter protection period, and for original authors / artists only. For all the wrong reasons, but primarily, because nothing's sacred. Amen.

Traditionally, rich people paid poor artists to obtain new artworks. In the future, they just click a button.

No subscription and archive.is is broken on 1.1 but it seems like the conversation is finally moving in a good direction.

I'm very very tentatively hopeful that we might see some reduction of IP rights in my lifetime. It's going to be a long hard fight but maybe, just maybe we will see people wake the fuck up and realize how important the building up the fucking commons is to the progress of all humanity.

The article is quite long, but it seems to agree with your suspicions.

Personally, I don't think this is sustainable. Once you make the injustice obvious, people will give-up on following the rule.
