Intellectual property is a capitalist invention so that multigorillian dollar corporations can own three chords of a song and then sue mothers for having it play in the background and claim to own happy birthday so they can make gorillians more when they know full well they don't.
The most fucked up thing is that it's basically necessary to prevent said multigorillian dollar corporations from just claiming random starving artist's work as their own, but believe me they sure as hell do try. It's just morally reprehensible shit all the way down.
