I'm just curious if you believe that physical property or real estate is similarly a form of "thought control" that does not actually exist. "Property is theft" is a common saying in some intellectual-political circles, especially about land.

I don't know... I seem to go back-and-forth on the larger property question throughout my life.

But I certainly think that the casting the act of copying bytes from one medium to another as "theft" is propagandistic and dishonest.

Your question is disingenuous IMO. Physical property is about physical things, not thoughts. "Intellectual property" is literally about thoughts and work based on them - it's in the name.
