  I don't think you'd want it, it's pretty old (I also didn't state I disagree with the concept of private property)

    Ok but it’s only an imaginary concept until somebody wants to take your stuff.

      "Intellectual property" is a fiction not bound by any sane laws of reality. Meanwhile physical property is bound by the fact that you can't create new matter.

        I think that's a little broad, IP should be divided further into: - is there value in keeping it secret / not public? (e.g. commercial software, etc.) - content, things that can be freely distributed without diluting the inherent value of the property In the first case, I think it's analogous to not being able to create new matter. Once the secret is out, you can't put it back in. In the case of content, I'm a lot more open about this but it does bring up all of the tricky questions of ensuring that content creators get paid for their work, etc. (another endless debate)
