It's funny, because intellectual "property" is actually the opposite of real property: a state-mandated monopoly, long ago useful because it only was for a few years (and it only mattered to publishers who owned presses), but now a hindrance after decades of lobbying for extensions. I wouldn't call that communist, but it's not a free economy either. Who's the biggest state-run-economy advocate, I wonder?
