This. They've made up a dubious analogy between owning physical items and knowledge, and make the "burn the witch" act when you point out that it's unsatisfactory to make laws, and there are plenty of people running around who haven't ever made anything in their lives which would be impeded by IP, so they just support it.
I know a few people who've made IP-worthy things, sometimes published (small-issue), the pattern is that they are against IP (while for them I'd understand having emotional reasons to support it).
