Really, Ubikzz? You don't believe in IP. What about unique configurations of semiconductor circuitry? Those designs are some of the most valuable, stolen, and sued-over IP around. Should they really be public domain, even though some of them takes teams of people years to invent? I don't think so.
Hmm. There is a fundamental difference between that IP and an e-book. A semi design has no use without being implemented "on silicon" (or other physical medium). An e-book has value because its content is enjoyed by a reader in its existing form. Oh, you might argue it has no value until being implemented "on screen" but that is a trivial conversion given ubiquitous PC's.
