Does not the ruling that computer code is not physical property apply
to recordings in the audio and video realms? All these are images,
and not the original substance (which is intangible).

Is not the assertion that "intellectual property" is a real entity
simply another "the emperor has no clothes" swindle? (Recall the
faiery tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye
Kl�der) of Hans Christian Andersen.)
