I think he's right. I just think that IP is government sponsored monopoly over something which is inherently copyable. The "protections" afforded an inventor, don't exist in reality. The "protections" are used to prevent competition.
People will still make music, art, books, invent products, write software even without IP monopoly rights. The true winners of IP are large media organizations and large software companies. And the government organizations which create and enforce the rules.
