        you understand there is a difference between personal property and corporate property right? and then beyond that, there is a difference between owning a tangible product and information.

          Ownership is when one is allowed to keep all others from accessing or using a thing.

          If that one is a person or corp., or the thing is physical or imaginary, it doesn’t change the nature of ownership itself.

          A person or a corp could make different choices with their ownership rights. And ownership of physical or imaginary things have different enforcement challenges. But none of that changes the fundamental concept of ownership.

          But as I said elsewhere: “The real point I meant is that fake concepts can still be useful. Like the concept of ownership.”

            ownership of tangibles and intangibles (specifically information) are entirely different, regardless how you wanna define ownership or whatever.

        Yes, exactly, you get it! I don’t like paying for things, you don’t like paying for things. Paying for things sucks. We need post scarcity communism.
