    What’s wrong with IP laws is that they lock away human culture from social use.

    There should be no limit on how you or I use a concept or an idea.

      Yup. The only justification for this limit is capitalism, where people can obtain money by selling culture that goes beyond the material. If one didn’t need to produce value to survive or couldn’t earn a ton of wealth and power through the sale of culture, the limit would be obsolete.
