> Recognize that copyrights clash with basic property rights.
Like all property rights, copyright is a socially constructed privilege to exclude others from certain actions, and, like all property rights, every copyright interest limits everyone else's freedom, including the freedom to derive utility from their property.
This is a very real tradeoff with copyright, but it is exactly the same kind of tradeoff that exists with all property rights, not something special to copyright vs. other property rights.
