Do you really believe the inability to protect IP makes one iota bit of difference in humans making progress? Do you contend that naturally vivacious inventors would stop inventing just because the ideas will be stolen by anyone..

Nikola Tesla comes to mind... inventors who have their ideas stolen and aren't rewarded with fame and/or fortune tend to get a bit cranky. Also nowadays inventions tend to require a huge amount of time, money, and effort. If there is no pot at the end of the rainbow, why bother to slave away in a lab...? Better to invest the time in learning to rap or play metal guitar.. probably get more hot babes that way also... :)
