You can say "it's definitely property", but actually whether it is or not is a very interesting question, one that has been the subject of academic debate for over a 100 years. Me stating the opposite was a little glib admittedly.
Copyright is definately like property in the sense that you can exclude others from it, but it is unclear how much it makes sense to import concepts of tangible goods into the sphere of copyright.
