Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

    Yes, but without IP you can take anything the big company makes for anything you want to do with it.

      And they can look at any small business, be it product, art, any book anyone writes, and they can flood the market, crushing you and profiting of the thing you made. Can people not see how this goes both ways and how this would destroy any desire for creation, knowing rich people will just take it and stomp you out immediately?

      Imagine you write the next Harry Potter book or some shit, you’re catching on and getting popular and now it’s gone. A different company is printing your book and you don’t get any money. They’re making movies off your book and you get nothing. You go to stores and see merch from your book that you wrote that you’ll never see a dime of. This is the world you want? Where the rich can easily just take anything with no defense from the creator?
