not true.
what you are describing is a "rival" property, meaning it is temporal, it can only be in one place at one time - intellectual property however can be in many places at once - and hence, copies - this is how copyright evolved - as the LITERAL RIGHT TO MAKE A COPY. That right is retained for the copyright holder.
copyright and intellectual property are the foundation of modern economics.

two-thirds of the value of large businesses in the U.S. can be traced to intangible assets. Industries which rely on IP protections are estimated to produce 72 percent more value per added employee than non-IP industries.

"a positive correlation between the strengthening of the IP system and subsequent economic growth." [6]
