      So IP law for individuals = bad, but IP law for corporations = good is the general argument here?

      Is there a principled basis for this argument?

      It seems like a lot of art like musicians or novelists rely almost entirely on earnings from selling their works to individuals. Wouldn’t a legal regime like you’re advocating basically make producing art for real people a lot less lucrative comparatively and drive those artists into making corporate art and marketing materials?
