‘Piracy’ is only a problem if ‘Intellectual Property’ is treated as a legitimate concept, and not an arbitrary construct of artificial constraint imposed on intrinsically abundant resources.

Copyright and patents should be replaced with a system designed to quantify and attribute the true value of ideas, and not reward locking them away as tightly as possible.
