Absolutely agree.
And as social constructs they can be made any way society wants. The same, different, whatever.
So I'd still be interested in any rational argument that supports treating
intellectual property rights the same as
physical property rights.
That argument should address why they should be treated the same when IP is clearly different to PP. That argument should also state whether the person presenting that argument supports the right of anyone to copy
intellectual property just as they are allowed to copy
physical property. If not, then that argument should also address why not.
