It is very difficult to answer this sensitive question. If we give no importance to IP rights, then it will discourage brilliant people and there will be less and less innovation. ...

This absurdity is pumped by the lobbies but nobody seems to actually think it through and see if it is true. It is not.

Intellectual property laws stifle brilliant people and slow innovation dramatically.

When the focus is on capturing a small hill that you can 'own', nobody runs for the mountains.

It should be enough for people to reject the idea of intellectual property on purely ethical grounds, the immorality of a person pretending to own one idea that was derived from the ideas of others, or wanting to prevent others from free use of an idea.
