We've been told that copyright is *better* than labor rights, because copyright is a *property* right. It puts a price on your work, which means you can get paid.
But prices are things we assign to things that are so worthless that we can say what they're worth. The most valuable things in the world aren't property, and describing them as property would cheapen them. Human beings aren't property.

The fact that we're not property doesn't mean we're worthless, it means we're *priceless*. That's why "murder" isn't "theft of life" and "rape" isn't "theft of sex." Your life and bodily integrity are worth too much to be bought and sold. 43/
