If I build a house with my own bought bricks, cement, and labor, I own it. You don't. You can't live in it, rent it out or take it from me without my permission.
I create pictures and videos with my own money, skills and equipment. So why do you think you have the right to take it from me?
Can I take what you create from you?

if you buy a chair from me i don't control how you can use that chair
if you want to rent it out to someone you can
if you want to break it apart and make something else with it you can
if you want to take it apart and then make copies of it you can
if you want to sell it to someone else you can
as the BUYER of the property you have those rights by default.
the monopoly power of copyright law, takes those property rights away from the buyer by giving the creator control over how his/her creation is used (save for fair use of course).

Copyright is the enforcement of property rights.

no it the exact opposite, copyright takes away normal property rights from the BUYER by giving the creator control over how the property is USED.

Without enforcement of copyright laws you wouldn't have a computer to work on. Because who would bother to invent anything or write a program if the moment it's made someone can steal it and copy it over and over again?
