Sounds like much of what you all are proposing is socialism.
Hmm. Maybe some are.
I'm proposing peace, failing that, defensive force and / or disobedience to those who won't allow peace.
Intellectual property is a government backed concept and is not the same as an actual physical property type concept. Actual physical property exists in reality, with or without government sanction.
"Intellectual property" only exists as "property" because of legislation . Actual physical property is unique. Intellectual property is not, an idea can be held simultaneously by many people without dispossessing anybody.
For example, a person has a batch of 1973 smuggled in Cambodian seeds, those particular seeds are unique, and can't be possessed by people all over. Others could have their own, but THOSE PARTICULAR seeds, are unique. The idea to smuggle in Cambodian seeds (intellectual) can be possessed by multiple people, it is not unique.
I'm not an advocate of imposed socialism, but have no objection to people voluntarily cooperating amongst themselves in socialist ways as long as those encompassed all do so of their own accord. I am a Voluntaryist, and believe human interactions which begin amongst humans on a voluntary and consensual basis are the best kind.
I think there are more than two puzzles, their are millions. Each person has the right to live their own life, as long as they respect that others have that right also. I think that's a good beginning point and concept to build from.
The reason drugs are so expensive is a coercion based monopoly exists not only on the drugs, but on who may "prescribe" them and who may sell them. All of the layers of licensure and restriction are held in place by threats of offensive force for violators usually by a coercion based government who protects people that fund them. I'm opposed to that.
