I guess “pseudo” based on an understanding of “ownership” that works only for physical objects; not for 1:1 replicas and not for “mind stuff”. You cannot “own” a thought. It’s difficult to own an earthworm, unless you keep it in a confined container. Once it slips out, you lose ownership.

Based on that perspective, intellectual property is a construct, an illusion, newspeak, and thus “pseudo”.
