Actually it is a good point about money. As we all know, money is not real. It is only a mutually agreed system controlled by few entities. And that system doesn't resemble anything fair or honest as we might commonly think about it. The money is created out of thin air, banks multiply it, debts provide yields, there is inflation that lowers its value etc. But by all measures the system works quite well. Sometimes not so well and then the system is propped up, some rules are changed, more money is given to biggest banks etc.
If one can understand how money works then why is it not possible to accept that intellectual property may require new set of rules that are different from physical goods.
