Yeah, good. More eyes and minds working on research means more chances at cool discoveries and advancements.
IP ostensibly exists so people can make a living selling their inventions or whatever, which is so many steps removed from the better solution of just giving people food and a house. Fuck markets, fuck marketing, steal my shit and make it cooler than I ever could have alone. Or fuck it up and send people my way looking for the real deal. Either way I’ll still keep making that garbage because I love making it.
It would be fine if it actually compensated workers for their labor, but it’s largely just another tool for large capital to extract every last ounce of profit that they can.

Hence the “ostensibly” yeah. It’s a shit solution even when you give it the benefit of the doubt.
The only logical thing to do is overthrow capitalism 🥰
