The "if buying doesn't mean owning, piracy isn't stealing" take drives me nuts.
IP licensing is, has been and always will be gross, but you can't just use your misunderstanding of what you get with your purchase to link those two completely disparate ideas together. Yes, you own the paper that book is printed on, the plastic that DVD is made from or that MP4 file, but you do not "own" the contents of those things.
You can say that IP licensing shouldn't be a thing, or that all information should be free, whatever, but you can't just decide for yourself the terms of a purchase.
