taxation is part of the answer (Score 1)

Do you know any form of property that is not taxed?

So, if the "intellectual property" mafia wants to continue to use that analogy,
then perhaps it is time that we started to take their analogy seriously and
treat their property more like other property.

Then they would have to start making some decisions on how much the property
is really worth to them, and whether it is worth it to continue to hold a
property from the rest of humanity.

Oh, there are problems with this, particularly with valuation. I propose that
each property holder self-declare, with mandatory buyout clauses and maybe a
limited number of total exemptions (franchise players).
