You are assuming that somehow human creativity was born with intellectual property and will somehow die with it. It's just not so.

Ok captain pedant, instead of making vague handwavey negations exclusively how about you say something.
Intellectual property is supposed to feed creativity by securing for creators exclusive rights to benefit from their creation. It mostly feeds uncreative leaches whose business it is to own things in exchange for crumbs for the creativity and drags down both the inherent enjoyment of the fruits of creativity and even its creation. It belonged in the bin back when we first thought of it as is only going to be more unfit for purpose as time goes on.
