“Where does it say in Shulchan Aruch that there’s such a thing in Halacha as non-tangible intellectual property?”
I guess Reb Joey is now the poster child for the proposition that there is no such thing as “intellectual property”….after all, when he needed brain surgery, he refused to pay the “intellectual property premium” quoted by the brain surgeon he initially contacted to perform the procedure and instead got a much better price from the shamas in his beis bedrash who performed the surgery for him at 1/10th the price.
