Tbh I agree with the general spirit of what they are saying but IP is obviously a valid legal construct and wishing it wasn't doesn't change that, and I didn't really appreciate being "well aCkshULly"d so I hit the down arrow anyway lol

Intellectual property is as real as any other property is: it's all made up by people, but it has the force of social/economic/governmental institutions behind it so it can affect your life.

It's just that legal concepts tend to attract discussions by people who can't tell the difference between a descriptive or positive argument (how things are) versus a normative argument (how things should be).
