Intellectual
property has been credited with the stimulation of original work, and that
Intellectual property laws are necessary
to create incentives to facilitate the production of
original work. This paper argues that without such protection the quality of works created would be substandard and that the best creators may not work without those rights. It explains that to take these rights away would deny creators their rights to profit from their work by selling the ideas to interested parties. This paper also examines the other side of this issue to provide the reader a more balanced perspective on this matter.
