Countless firsthand accounts of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have disappeared across the last decade, and it may speak to larger issues with the historical record in the digital age.

IP (authorship, protection from plagiarism as in "don't say that what others wrote is yours, and put a reference") is fine, copyright is not.

A specific item can be produced by a few people or one person, and ultimately their inputs add up to this 1 item, always. So it's a finite resource possible to own.

An idea can come to any number of minds simultaneously and independently. You own what comes to your mind, but not what comes to other minds. So copyright is in fact aggression against another person, similarly to theft and coercion.
