It is obvious why Rand favored IP laws – to protect her writings. Since I first began my libertarian experience in 1967 I have evolved from the limited government lib to no government lib. It is clear to me now that laws are merely scams by the ruling eltites to circumvent the functioning of free markets and free individuals. The free private market is the best and most efficient system for satisfying goods and services demanded by consumers. Government and its imposition of laws & regulations are designed to give (at the point of a gun) one person or class a benefit at the expense of another person or class which benefit would not otherwise exist in a private free market.
