The internet is not a thing. It's a set of relationships between machines, themselves owned by people. These relationships and the ownership of the machines are privileges granted by the government.

Yeah - I know it's hard to grasp the idea that property and contracts are constructs of the state and not laws of the universe.

I get it, man. The government enforces property rights. You don't have to say it 5,000 times.

I only had to say it so many times because it defeats your argument and you acted as though it doesn't.

Property rights are a privilege. Intellectual property rights are a privilege. The internet is slowly getting rid of intellectual property rights via piracy and free software. That's my argument, and what you said does not "defeat" it, or whatever.
