Property rights aspire toward social harmony in that they prescribe who gets to use which thing at what time for which purpose. Intellectual property doesn’t have that physical limitation, and social harmony is maximized by removing (unfair and immoral) protections to property over nonscarce and immaterial things.

spoken by someone without any original intellectual property? if intellectual property was not scarce and was not the entire focus of the digital currency movement (materialism at it peak) - it would not be valuable. the nature of work is literally valuable because in a node-to-node transfer, it is sourced and archived and catalogued. you literally cannot be someone advocating for a digital marketplace and be against ip, and that has nothing to do with common law - actually the reverse. ip guarantees a free flow of data; delete ip laws is like saying humans should not have names and identities.
