Consumers need some rights where digital games are concerned.

It would be much more efficient (and create less barriers to entry) to just get rid of IP. Or at least severely limit it's term.

That's how it used to be. But Disney holds an iron grip over Mickey Mouse. Every time he's about to enter the public domain, massive lobbying to extend copyright.

I believe getting rid of all IP would be, at best, counterproductive.
Though extremely limited in term (not even 14 years, think more like 5-7) and banning DRM or other artificial means of enforcement would probably diminish this considerably. IIRC most copyrighted items have already made most of the cash they'll ever make by 5 years in anyway.
