Explanation:

Two Issues Concerning the Justification of IP Rights

There are two ethical issues regarding IP not clearly distinguished in the literature. The first issue is whether authors have a morally significant interest (i.e., one that receives some protection from morality) in controlling the disposition of the contents of their creations, which would include some (possibly limited) authority to exclude others from appropriating those contents subject to payment of an agreed‐upon fee; this interest might, or might not, rise to the level of a moral right.

Is IP Really Property?

The concept of property expresses a relationship between an entity and a rational free agent. Simply put, a piece of property is, as a conceptual matter,22 something that belongs to someone; there is no property not linked to some rational agent by the belonging‐to or ownership relation. If some entity p is properly characterized as “property,” then there is some rational agent A of whom it is true that A owns p —and this is part of what is expressed by the notion that p is property. An entity owned by no one is not property, though it might potentially be property if it is a kind of thing that can be owned.
