The phrase "intellectual property" is considered by many to be useless word vaguely referring to patents, copyright and/or trademarks which all have very different law apply to them. However we purposefully choose to use the phrase to encompass them all because we believe that they all share a single important aspect in common which is putting an artificial limitation onto the propagation of knowledge.
This is the diametrically opposite problem than usury and passive income, because it's attempting to limit and fragment the domain of ideas and creativity which is inherently infinite and unlimited.
