Not really. I was speaking of the materialist who considers all things in a very concrete manner as property while the thinker is condemned to the purgatory of insubstantiality. I happen to believe that both hardware and software is property and should be protected. As for life as property, I agree with you on that. But I don't like owning animals either. That is not a part of my ethos, something with which I am sure that you will disagree.
