Intellectual property is too broad.
In the given example of a cure for AIDS, IP protection rights can have greater value for society.
In the case of a song, or a book, I would like to see these distributed freely without restraint. Broaden everyone's perspectives. It wouldn't change the landscape of the relative industries - it may just broaden it.
I feel like further study needs to be done to compare the existing categories of IP, and determine if they are being protected properly within that category.
