What is amusing about these discussions is the fact that those who would argue to the death for the concept of ownership for a piece of real estate don't accord the same rights to a piece of intellectual property.

One of the basic problems of liberalism, they think all property is a crime... except their property. These are the same people that move money offshore into tax shelters then complain about how few taxes people like them pay, they don't have to make sense because they care so much ;)

Well, they're fundamentally different. Real property is scarce; intellectual property isn't.

That's because our laws don't allow for the "ownership" of IP like we do real estate, only for a limited-time right to contol the copying of it.
