Your argument is seriously flawed - there is a fundamental difference between 'intellectual property' and property -- I hope you can acknowledge that.

And as for all business models are based on government, well that's absolutely wrong. For example the existence of black markets -- those in violation of the government seem to show that they they don't rely on the government. Let alone any type of service business.

If you want to argue that government is necessary for property rights to exist, that's a resource saving measure - people protect their property all the time when governments fail them.
