Majority opinion seems not to be reflected by business journalists...
Many, perhaps most, of us in the creative industries - especially software - would abolish all IP and want tax regimes as simple as possible. I write this as a creator of IP and payer of corporation tax. Opinion one: IP acts to protect the status quo against competitors, not to promote innovation. Opinion two: tax breaks distort decision making in business. If the project was work doing it was worth doing without the subsidy.
