You're welcome, but these ideas are not really that new.
Yes, IP rights contradict normal property rights. If I own a printed copy of a book, I'm free to do whatever I want with it; in particular, to read it aloud in front of an audience or copy it. If I obtained the book under the condition I wouldn't reproduce it, and signed a contract, that's a different story though - because I'd be breaching the contract. But once I've done it and shared as e.g. as a torrent, those who download it can do whatever they want with it, because they're not bound by a contract. The unenforceability of such contracts in some common scenarios is yet another story...

Yep. In a world where taxation is not considered theft the meanings of words are suspect.
