That's because a bunch of people made these distinctions and created laws based on them. They could just as easily ignore these differences and nullify these laws. There's nothing sacrosanct about any of this.
As far as I'm concerned, people have a right to pass on property of any kind to their heirs for an indefinite period of time. It's their property and I'm tired of society fabricating rationalizations so they can justify its theft.
These laws are antiquated and need changing; but I don't see it happening. At least the same system that created these unjust laws has the decency to keep extending copyright. So there is a silver lining in this cloud.
