    Intellectual property is as real as any other property is: it’s all made up by people, but it has the force of social/economic/governmental institutions behind it so it can affect your life.

    It’s just that legal concepts tend to attract discussions by people who can’t tell the difference between a descriptive or positive argument (how things are) versus a normative argument (how things should be).
