I think the movie figure above is missing DVD sales and such so lets add another 30 billion or so.... so around 170 billion US$ world wide revenue. Of which of course not all would be lost if copyright would disappear. In fact I think for most alternative revenue sources like streaming services etc could be found, but lets assume a worst case scenario of it losing 70%, so a loss of 120 billion US$.
So, if we ignore the reasons why they're bad, they're not really bad...?The problem with patents are mostly software (and biotech) patents awarded for trivial works and now used for blackmailing other companies in those sectors or at the very least to stifle innovation. Outside of that I have yet to hear from anyone that the general idea behind patents is a bad concept...

Just as it supposed to be.
