The Pirate Bay Is The World’s Most Efficient Public Library

Every property law is unnatural. Who says that I can't own the land across my backyard?... Yes, some stupid law that was passed to invalidate my natural right of conquering that land with a club in hand. The civilized society was created by imposing these laws, and copyright laws allowed the establishment of an industry for creative works.

First off, 'Conquering' is not a natural right.

Second, personal property and real property are different categories. Real estate is somewhat artificial, but the ownership of personal items that you can carry around is a very natural right. It comes naturally from possession and autonomy, and does not need laws to exist.

But somehow every other "artificial" right, like real estate, looks OK for you other than copyright... This is what I call bending the argument for particular gain.

I was just countering the idea that all property is artificial. And when did I say I was fully behind real estate? Maybe it's not a good idea for someone to own ten thousand acres they aren't using in any way...

Also I am actively against software patents. Poor time to make assumptions.
