Actually the reverse is probably more true.
The fact that 25% of jobs are claimed to be dependent on IP does not mean that those job will get lost if no IP existed. There is alot to suggest that most of those jobs would still be in demand even if IP does not exists. Because someone need to program that software. someone need to write that music and someone need to write that book.
The business would change yes - but there still would be a demand for the products so how much loss in jobs would one see if all IP was no longer enforaceble ? And how many new business oppurtunies and new jobs would we not see if IP was abandoned ?
Removing IP can lead to a world with even more jobs available then before.
