    I mean that’s great and all, but intellectual property still isn’t real.

    That’s just true for any social construct. I remember feeling smart when I realised this about money at like 12 years old lol.

    And as far as caring about it, as long as artists/creatives/journalists need to monetise their output to survive, I’d rather see them protected in some way.

      IP doesn’t automatically follow from that.

        True, I was only saying that artists/… being able to fully own and monetise their work is one of the defensible parts of IP as a concept. I’m not claiming it’s the only possible way to go about it.
