A. Smith writes "Ars Technica is running an article on the relationship between property rights and copyright, arguing that copyright holders are making a mistake by stressing similarities between property rights and copyright and comparing P2P users to 18th-century squatters in North America. 'Like squatters of old, many ordinary users find copyright law bewildering and are frustrated by the arbitrary restrictions it imposes. Customers wanting to rip their DVD collections to their computers, download music they can play on any device, or incorporate copyrighted works into original creative works find that there is no straightforward, legal way to do these things.'"
