Culturally, Mario doesn't belong to any one person or organization. The idea of ideas being property is strange and alien.

  There are indigenous tribes who assign ownership of stories and songs to particular people/families. Retelling them without ownership or permission warrants punishment. The idea of ideas being property is as human as anything.

    The only thing that is human about corporations is the people that make them up. There's a several order of magnitude gap between a few people/families in tribes compared to them.

      The original claim didn't mention anything about corporations. The idea of ideas being property is, itself, as old as the idea of property.

        My intuition says the notion of property being property had to predate the notion of ideas being property.
