Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property: Text

     Intellectual Property rights and violations is not an idea prevalent in the movie. Every person in the movie is part of a simulation run by a sentient AI program, and is not actually controlling their real body. Since everything they look at, touch, and even think is not actually real, then the ideas that the people come up with are not truly their own to begin with. Any ideas created are simply generated by the sentient programs running the simulation and are not unique to anyone, meaning that no one can claim that these ideas are their own intellectual property. Therefore, intellectual property rights cannot be violated since they do not exist in the first place, rendering the idea of intellectual property irrelevant in The Matrix.
