    as long as artists/creatives/journalists need to monetise their output to survive, I’d rather see them protected in some way.

    IP doesn’t automatically follow from that.

      True, I was only saying that artists/… being able to fully own and monetise their work is one of the defensible parts of IP as a concept. I’m not claiming it’s the only possible way to go about it.
