A better comparison would be to use concert or movie tickets.  The actual 
item (piece of paper) is nearly worthless, but is required to access the 
content (performance)

Of course, there are those who theater hop, or have a friend open the 
backdoor for them and I'm sure they see nothing wrong with their behavior 
because they feel "entitled".

As for whether IP is doomed in the long run, I don't think it is.  If 
anything, I think the idea will become stronger and stronger as more 
people become involved directly or indirectly with the production of 
information, as opposed to the production of physical stuff.
