> What "physical manifestation" are you talking about?
However your creation manifests itself. A live performance or the physical media of a recording, for example.
> Because as soon as I make a record I have to "guard that physical manifestation" ... how?
The same way you guard your other possessions: with a lock and a door.
> you make the creation "other people's property"
The physical manifestation. The matter, as it were.
> If I think of something you did not this robs me of rights and automatically gives entitlement to you?
If you come up with an idea, it is yours to guard. If you communicate this idea, then you cannot ethically use force to prevent others from acting upon it. I do not believe I am robbing you of any right, because I do not believe that information can be property - only the physical manifestation of information (the media) can be property.
What do you think about, for example, Creative Commons attribution licenses? Is it just for creators of informational works to allow the public to redistribute them only if they receive attribution for their work? Or is making any demands whatsoever with respect to redistribution not a right that the creator should have?
