> neither are more intrinsically true than the other. I would disagree. The term "property" is circa 1300. The term "intellectual property" started being used about 500 years later to (I would say undeservedly) piggy back on the success of the former. But it's an oxymoron, as IP rights in fact contradict property rights, hence it being less "true", in a logical sense. > It's no more "unnatural" than the enforcement of physical property laws. Yeah, that line of mine was sort of rhetorical and not substantive. If it were a PR I'd remove it :).
