Most of those involved in the ACM and IEEE also sell/create digital goods for a living, and yet in their ethics literature they conclude or imply that treating intellectual property like actual property makes little sense logically or philosophically. Of course, they stay safe by admonitioning us to obey laws unless there's ethical compulsion otherwise.
