This is hopeful news: the anti-IP case is growing stronger and mainstream all the time. The latest is Jordan Weissmann’s The Atlantic article The Case for Abolishing Patents (Yes, All of Them), which draws on a recent paper by Boldrin and Levine (see Boldrin and Levine: The Case Against Patents). For other recent semi-mainstream opinion that flirts with abolition, see Becker & Posner: Time To Minimize Patent & Copyright Law.
