They didn't annex them, but now the other property has been annexed and these adverse things are happening to them without any dialogue to speak of. They need to have a voice, and their voice needs to be heard.

We try to keep tabs on our intellectual property, but sometimes it's difficult to make sure that infringement isn't happening. When it does, it's your work that's at stake, and you have to do what you can to protect it.

We are accused of being obsessed by property. The truth is the other way round. It is the society and culture in question which is so obsessed. Yet to an obsessive his obsession always seems to be of the nature of things and so is not recognized for what it is. The relation between property and art in European culture appears natural to that culture, and consequently if somebody demonstrates the extent of the property interest in a given cultural field, it is said to be a demonstration of his obsession. And this allows the Cultural Establishment to project for a little longer its false rationalized image of itself.

I found out I was being annexed by a neighbor who got a letter about it.

We didn't really know what was happening,

We have no problem being in the annex, but we need to find out what these permit issues are.
