I've been trying this out for six years now, and I think it's a winner. But it was only a month or two ago that I realized there was a way in which the use of "property" can also be used to undermine the bullying, censorship and extraction of corporations wielding their IP.
Property rights may be our state religion, but they are also the *worst* tool for several important jobs that need doing.

Think of privacy: the standard for privacy is for you to click through an "agreement" that nominally trade your privacy rights for some product or service. Google spies on you constantly for ad-targeting, you get to see Youtube videos (after watching a bunch of ads). 20/
