Brian,

Forget compulsory license. I brought it up to show that comparing copyright intellectual property to ordinary personal property is like comparing apples to oranges, not an attempt to connect dots, yours or mine.

Do the same people who regularly engage in P2P activity rush out to shoplift, raid neighbors' fridges, or rip off lawnmowers when they tire of downloading songs? Of course not! You may see no difference between P2P and common theft, but an overwhelming majority does.
