"The problem here is that no one outside the IP lobby, not even those who strongly support copyright and patents, believes that these things are property that can be stolen."
That's quite a strong statement that is not backed up with anything.
More to the point, until someone/some intellectual body comes up with a credible replacement for IP (as we now know it) that precludes the middlemen and rentiers from profiting disproportionately from their clients hard work all this talk about IP and it's protection/abuse isn't going to do much more than stir an already seething cauldron of personal opinions half-heard and badly retold.
