Copyright is not the same thing as intellectual property though
Copyright is law which is used to prevent free copying of media, while "intellectual property" is a term cooked up by corporate suits to generalize copyright, trademarks, and patents and equate them with property law. Richard Stallman wrote about this.
Intellectual property comes before any of those things. If I paint a picture, it's my intellectual property whether I apply for some legal definition or not.
It's not the same thing as a copyright. Anyone can have intellectual property
That is certainly an opinion.
