MODERATORS
Copyright infringement is also known as intellectual property theft. I still disagree with his choice of video title.
"Intellectual property" as a concept is designed to trick people into thinking copyright, trademark, and patent infringement are equivalent to theft. It's an incorrect and pernicious use of the word "theft".
Intellectual property is an umbrella term for copyright, patents, and trademarks used to make it sound like "property" is "stolen" when licensing agreements are violated.
The idea that it shares the same features as anything else we consider "property" is the problem, so why call it property? The only thing that one can "own" in this regime is the license itself, and that doesn't go away just because someone violates its terms.
You're getting downvoted because people don't like the way the real world works.
