This sounds like discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
The real issue is how cheap and readily available the ability to manufacture information currently is.
What happens when the people currently trying to exactly mimic $1,000 bottles of wine for $20 succeed?
I'm not talking about passing it off as the real McCoy, but in a bottle proudly stating that the contents is exactly the same as that $1,000 bottle of wine.
When does IP end and PP begin? Think about a world of Star Trek-like replicators. What rights should the original creators of a physical product?
This is the real question.
