It's entirely different.
Say I hear your song being played, I never signed anything saying that I would not copy or alter that work for my own benefit. If I buy some software and click the 'agree' button, then yes, but I signed nothing. It's your fault for letting me hear it without having signed anything. Now that I've heard your song, another (probably imperfect) copy exists in my mind, Now we have 2 of them were before there was only one, why can't I profit from the song in my head, you own these thoughts? You tyrant you. They're my thoughts, they're mine, and I can do with them as I please.
Say you have a cd. I steal it. Now you haven't got a cd.
There is your difference.
Intelectual property is bollocks, it expires (in theory, but disney is out to fix that, don't worry), it's giving you the 'right' to control the actions of others when they never consented, the 'right' to own thoughts in other people's minds.
Oh, and you've already paid for the lecture lolololol taxes.
