Apologies if I seem like I'm flogging a dead horse but....
IP has been acting like
intellectual property for the last couple of centuries. It has not been acting like
physical property.
The issue isn't that IP has been acting like "property" but that some argue IP should be treated
the same as physical property.
It is not the same and and that itself is a "genuinely useful reason" to not treat it the same as
physical property.
