That's not what I said though.

Intellectual property is the claim of a product developer to own the commercialization of that product.

If you develop a product and I want to sell your product to the market, we enter into a voluntary deal to accomplish that.

If I just start producing your product commercially without a deal with you, then I'm operating on the fraudulent (non-voluntary) side of things.

——This must be assuming there’s a contract between you and the other party - right? Like some valid way that you’ve told them you won’t use their work.

When we buy a cd, we are agreeing to buy the cd + the accompanying license that allows us full personal use of that CD, but not the right to commercially produce more of those CD's to sell. We can do whatever we want with the CD, but we have not bought a license to sell new copies of it.

Because it varies by method, let’s say specifically picking up a CD at the local music store
