I agree on this, and I think the problem is that most of the rationale
behind ownership rights is that the material good cannot be shared
without losing something. If I give you my car, I cannot use it anymore.
Obviously, if I give you a copy of Supertux, I can still play it as
before.

IIRC, Saint Augustine was already quoted about this some short time ago.
I strongly agree with him on this point.

I think most people didn't realize the implications of digital
information on this. They still reason within the paradigm of material
goods.

Well, now that I reread it, I feel I'm probably saying something totally
obvious to everyone here...

Obviously,
