Intellectual property as it exists and is used today overwhelmingly is used to stifle competition and lock down monopolies. It's used to project power internationally by deputizing foreign countries to protect American business interests. It's a far cry from how it's popularly presented as a way for the "little guy" to protect their inventions.

I see you’ve never invented anything that you’ve risked having stolen

It's not stolen, you don't loose it if someone copy it. It's infringed. And personnally, as long as i am credited in the author file? I'm good.

If you can't use the correct terminology, then your entire statement is worthless.
