I think someone lost the pills here. IP doesn't exist? Tellit to Michelangelo, Picasso, Einstein...

IP does exist. But it is not a mandatory think you have to pay for it. It's upon the owner of IP.

Yiu have to differentiate the personal rights and the economical rights. Personal rights are belongs to the owner, it isn't transferable in any way. Personal right is e.g. the owner has a right to everyone must admit that it is his work and no one else's.

The economical rights is an other thing. You probably discuss about this part.

We can discuss this issue, this is one of my areas of expertise.
