Also very simple explanation of why IP isn't a real thing. It's obviously just a bunch of laws designed to allow corporations to extract profit (not creators, the vast majority of creators have no rights to their creations). But so many people start believing it is actually property. But let's stop and think about if property worked like IP. Imagine my car was stolen last night but when I woke up a completely identical car was there and I could still use it. Theft happened but should it bother me? It hasn't caused me any harm.

Or imagine an apple tree that make unlimited apples. Any time you grab one it is instantly replaced. But the owner of the field the tree is in wants to create scarcity so you have to buy apples from him and he controls how many can be picked. If some people steal those apples he wouldn't lose anything, they're unlimited in number and have no real value, it's all artificial. And that's how IP works. I actually would rather we move to a patronage/crowd funding system for media, because the current system is bad for everyone.
