Intellectual property is not a property, it’s a state-enforced monopoly over the production of a certain good i.e. the copies of a work.
It’s perfectly reasonable for a libertarian to reject that (Not all libertarians do, but some do).

is not a property, it’s a state-enforced monopoly Isn’t that what property means? A state enforced monopoly over the subject of that monopoly? Ownership of farmland, a factory, a house, a checking account, a stack of cash, a car, etc., boils down to a state enforced monopoly to control who may use or possess that thing.
