Why does everyone not understand this simple concept? An idea is not bound to being in one physical location like a chair is. If I have a chair, it means everyone else does not have that chair. If I have an idea, it DOES NOT mean that I am depriving anyone else of posession of it.

You are confusing scarcity with rareness. An idea might be rare, but this does not mean it is scarce.

Okay...so expand outward with this idea, then. Let's say that all IP laws are dissolved. What does the situation look like for, say, a musician?

Worse than the status quo for some very small percentage of musicians.

Then again, dissolvement of any structure based upon coercive force will be bad for *some* number of people.
