Even if people are copying your intellectual property...you still have that intellectual property. What is happening is that people are intruding on your monopoly of that intellectual property.

Personally, I think companies and artists have the means in which to protect their intellectual property from being protected, but they don't use it. They instead rely on the legality and enforcement by the government. If we didn't have that, we'd see more companies issuing control over the format mediums they issue their products on and things like that. In other words, you can make stuff hard to copy if you want.

But, whether or not that's a more efficient method for society overall than having IP laws is another debate. I don't know the answer to it, either.
