actually, "infringers" is more of the "property" language, like "tresspassing". A new way to describe copyright/patent systems is as a "bounty" or reward for an author or inventor. A bounty hunter doesn't get paid life plus 90 years. they get a reward that covers their expenses plus enough profit to make a living if they keep writing and inventing. In that language, there is no "property" except as a temporary reward or bounty.
