I can make a copy of any book I own.. There is no law against that. Personal use is allowed.

Matter of fact, you can copy a certain percentage of a library book if it is for personal use.
Your question is what is property, not if I think that someone else should be able to copy someone else's work and make money. If you are asking if I think that we should have a limited copyright, then I think that we should. I just don't think we should have an unlimited copyright.
