Property rights != intellecutal property rights. If we lived in caves and stole pointy sticks, it would be a wholly different crime than say me seeing you start a fire in your cave and mimicking it in my cave without paying royalties. Intellecutal property is an advanced construct enforced wholly within the governing laws of a country, or specifically negotiated international trade agreements. Intellectual property rights are not a natural or inherent right of people.
