"Copyright" technically isn't property, it's a set of rules concerning
the rights of the content owners.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
"The exclusive right given by law for a certain term of years to an
author, composer, designer, etc. (or his assignee), to print, publish,
and sell copies of his original work."
IOW, it's not property, it's a right.
