Perhaps I've misunderstood what you're trying to say, but I feel like this sort of begs the question. It seems like you're presenting this as some sort of argument against intellectual property, but to work as an intuition pump, you must already reject intellectual property as a valid concept ("proponent of traditional property"). It's not clear to me that you've actually said anything. But, since we're here and discussing the concept of ownership of information - would you say that people have a right to secrets? There might be some bits on my hard drive that I don't want anyone else to know, and if they mysteriously turn up on your hard drive despite my careful precautions, surely that is evidence of some sort of malfeasance?
