Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

[Lucas Gonze] argues against Intellectual Property because The government creates intellectual property. The proceeds are used to influence the government to create more. (in other words, trademarks generate wealth for companies who lobby congressmen to extend their trademarks to make them even more wealth). I guess this is a [Slippery Slope] argument that since there's no hard logic around the design of Intellectual Property protection (since it's an artificial "property"), this cycle is almost inevitable.
Jon Udell points out that we still need some way of rewarding creators of ideas, and points to Creative Commons as an attempt to solve that problem.
