For your argument, yes. For mine, it doesn't matter because copyright expires, which means when it ceases to be no one owns it.
Of course this all circles around and around, with people wanting to treat intangible things as property, but not recognize or care that intangible things suffer none of the natural limitations of physical things.
So okay, treat IP as PP, but in doing so make IP as much like PP for the owner as we can. Which means it will decay and cease to exist. Land being a slight exception, since it doesn't decay but certain natural events can make it essentially worthless for anything including living on.
