    ownership of tangibles and intangibles (specifically information) are entirely different, regardless how you wanna define ownership or whatever.

      The enforcement of that ownership is entirely different, yes.
      Basically the only way to maintain ownership of intangibles is to keep them a secret.

      Also, don’t all intangibles fit the definition of information? I don’t recall running across any that wouldn’t, but I’m curious. Can you give an example of what you mean?
