The idea of intellectual property being property that someone owns is a purely social construct though. Candy can be consumed to depletion. Art gets richer the more it is consumed. A much better analogy would be having a sculpture in your front yard. The idea that a kid would be an asshole for appreciating the sculpture too much is obviously laughable. People choose decorate their yards for the status having an attractive yard brings, without the expectation of profit from it.
