Deeply disagree with you. Imaginary property is a coercive and violent fantasy.
It is infinitely reproducible once created, unlike physical items which can only do one thing in one space at time. The imagination of a fellow human does not deserve men with guns to protect it. Say what you like about the imaginary world of cryptocurrency; at least it’s opt-in (you are free to ignore the coin or the NFT, but those that don’t ignore it can freely transact). The only property rights I can get behind are opt-in and enforced by the universe of mathematics.

Imaginary or not it takes real effort and time to create works of fiction. And there are occupational hazards to using ones hands so much. Having done some modeling and animation I have an appreciation for those who do it professionally.

Do you have any arguments that might be persuasive to people who do recognize property rights not enforced by "the universe of mathematics"?

Those kind of people are free to believe whatever they like, as long as they don’t push it on those that don’t believe. :-) That is the fundamental difference. Wanting the State to shoot people in the face for daring to challenge their ongoing intellectual rent extraction is mean spirited to say the least. Math needs no gun, and it’s defenses are as much energy can be thrown at the problem.
I’m not really here to argue my point, I don’t think I could challenge you T or change your mind. But I wanted to splash some counter idea on this hard and growing harder IP dystopian world we find ourselves in.
