The only advantage to allowing this form of land right ownership is that it facilitates a mostly market-based solution to the land-use distribution problem. This can't be done with intellectual property, because it is often non-fungible. Sometimes an artistic work becomes very important to a culture, such that there's no suitable replacement. Note: This doesn't necessarily make IP a bad thing. It actually doesn't say anything about it either way. The analogy to land, however, is not a useful one because of that difference.
