Patents and copyrights aren’t property. They’re government granted monopolies. They’re no more property than your driver’s license. Property is the application of mind to *matter*, to quote a great Flash animation. An idea can not be property. Ever. So. Again. If it’s *encrypted*, and I have the key, it’s my property. I control the physical bits. Otherwise it’s not my property. Cheers, RAH
