Yes I quoted myself to rebring this into the discussion. Even for physical things, there is nothing on them that makes them "property" to yours, but only social rules of other thinking its your property and working that way. Inventing "property" just made things work, that didn't do well wihout. Why should copyright be so different, as to treat it as a social invention.

I agree however that copyright is no "natural" right given to anybody.
