Says a CEO who's in a good position to extract more value from IP, once the little guy loses his rights.

Literally the first thing that's going to happen if "all IP law" is deleted, is all royalty checks back to artists and authors will stop. The next thing that will happen is any works of value will become locked down and restricted like you wouldn't believe (maybe movie theaters will see a resurgence, as it will be too risky to let others have possession of media files that cost millions to make).
