Why is that? Of course it's wrong that copyright is a simple form of 
property like "that's my car", and the comparisons and arguments 
stemming from that simplified point of view are wrong, too. But as 
"property" itself has been introduced as a specific legal entity we can 
also introduce "intellectual property" as a (related) legal entity - the 
important thing is that when we do that, there is no reason whatsoever 
to make conclusions about what rules govern this entity.

Best regards,
