IP does not exist in nature like inalienable rights do, it is an artificial construct that lacks consent from all parties involved
This lack of consent means there must be a means to coerce all those who do not consent to accept the terms of the construct. The power of force is granted to the institution of government and so government is granted the power to grant and enforce IP through force [ ie imprisonment or wealth confiscation ]
Since this construct designates only one individual the rights to distribute the identified goods, it becomes a monopoly. This monopoly is immoral because it attempts through the use of force provided by the state to stop individuals from sharing knowledge amongst each other, thus enslaving the knowledge to just one master
