an exclusive right to make copies of something is not a property right
Copyright takes away normal property rights that would normally exist for something (content) and replaces them with licences
If i buy a chair i don't have to ask the chair manufacture for permission to use that chair in any way i want.
I could even use it as a model to design a replacement chair.
Copyright takes those normal property rights away and replaces it with a permission based system.
so you are the one who is actually arguing against property rights when you argue for copyright.
