IP rights are not natural rights, they are created by the government and used for tax avoidance through shell companies (ie, Delaware, see here: https://www.uclalawreview.org/pdf/62-1-1.pdf). Copyright also benefits Hollywood investors more than anyone involved in the actual production. Who needs a copyright that lasts more than 50 years after the originator's death (yes, that is how long copyright lasts - outliving the original people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright_lengths). IP is a protection racket.
