"In post-rentier economics (essentially return to what pertained at the time of Leonardo da Vinci) the end product - be it an idea or digital artefact constructed from an idea - has no monetary value whatsoever."
Ah, Leonardo da Vinci. A man who famously never needed anyone's patronage to produce his work, and whose original art is valued at zero because the copies are exactly the same. If you're going to argue about IP rights and the benefits and drawbacks thereof, it helps not to use examples that directly contradict your statements.
