I think before we decide of copyright is property we have to first decide if we're talking about philosophy or law.
In the non-legal world property is that which you can stand on or hold in your hand or keep in a bottle and copyright doesn't allow for any of this.
The legal term might be different. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know. In a philosophical sense I'd argue that copyright is not property although I can see reasonable arguments for the opposite point of view.
Anyway, it's probably worth deciding the context before you discuss the definition.
