Certainly a common held belief comrade.
If true it would mean that the mere addition of such an option like restricting copies by IP law completely derails the prosperity maximising nature of capitalism and incentivices the complete opposite.
Even more troublesome in that case is the fact that technological solutions like DRM or the move to SaaS subscription models allow coorporations to do the exact same thing even in the Absence of enforcable IP laws.
It certainly looks like capitalism would go that route even in the absence of such laws.
It is much more likely, that it is in fact the Capitalists innate desire to gain as much profit for themself for as little effort as possible, that causes this rent seeking behavor, which cripples the free replication of digital goods and maximization of the prosperity of the many.
