"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.
