Clear discussion of property rights vs. copyright
Timothy B. Lee writes about how and why we need to distinguish between property rights and copyright, though some people equate them today. Clear and concise, this is a quick but useful read
The copyright system is currently undergoing rapid changes as technology undermines old business models and enforcement regimes. Some aspects of copyright law are widely ignored and evaded, and efforts to strictly enforce the law have sparked widespread outrage. If we want to take the property rights analogy seriously, it doesn't make sense to compare today's chaotic copyright regime to the stable, orderly, and universally accepted property rights system we have todaySource: arstechnica.com via biverson
