this is not a new concept, it is very old ... mystic traditions say that there is only one mind, and we can say that technology is revealing it.
in such a perceived reality the very idea of intellectual property has no basis. and in fact, eastern cultures did not invent this term, it was invented by the west, primarily as a means of protection.
arguments have been made that it is needed so that there is incentive for innovation, which is a joke, looking at open-source, linux, etc ... nothing is more natural and more unstoppable than innovation.
i predict these laws will not last, because they will be superseded by a higher understanding of reality. given time, the question is moot.

An important reason for IP laws and IPRs is to not protect for sake of protection but to recognize, be aware and give credit to the person whose intellectual work resulted in a such and such "property."
The idea of IP s exactly the same as normal property. How would one feel if one couldnt build a home and lciam its ownership? This is how we felt back in communistic times.
Not to have IP laws and regulations is therefore equivalent to defining virtual communist on the Internet.
I believe however I do udnerstand the reason you raise this point. Majority of IP current laws have been conceived before the advent of digital age and Internet and thus do not address or consider well or at all current realities. For this, I also think that IPs must consider current realities and especially open source products and innovation steming from it.
However, entire or even partial abolishment of IP laws will lead to online chaos. Notice, I didnt mention nor implied any commercial concerns, which are outstanding for many businesses.
