    What the fuck are you even talking about? “Intellectual property” is a term pushed by corporations and their lawyers to lump together very different legal regimes like copyright, trademark, regional indications or patents, under one supposedly common name. Doing this really has the main advantage of making it possible to use the language of theft when talking about things that can be infinitely copied, and therefore can’t be stolen. “Stolen IP” makes about as much sense as “unauthorised colour”.
