Calling it property is considered a misnomer by many (eg http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2008/feb/21/intellectual.property http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2008/feb/21/intellectu... ) and in fact, in certain jurisdictions, there are certain intellectual property rights that cannot be lost by the creator ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights_%28copyright_law%29#Worldwide_situation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights_%28copyright_law%... ).
