    I just read a post on Copyhype about Lysander Spooner’s work; it seems that would be worth addressing in this discussion.  Although I may just be biased, because I’d independently arrived at Spooner’s conclusion that since property rights are themselves an entirely intellectual concept then there’s no problem with attaching them to an entirely intellecual concept.Report
