Every piece of property must be improved by labor in some way. That is how property is created in the first place: homesteading involves investing your labor into untouched land to own it, as one example.

The initial labor is what creates the property. It can then be traded and whatnot. But it was not property before the initial labor that transformed wild land to something useful.
> Land property is not created by laboring on it, in fact it was always there.
There is much untouched land on the moon. Who owns that?
Land exists before improvement, but it is not property until improved through labor by people. That's just how the property rights on which our civilization is based work.

Intellectual properties are generally more creative based endeavors and should be protected as such IMO
Property is created when someone uses force to claim ownership of something. That's it. Anything else is post-hoc justification for said claim. You can indeed own that untouched forest if you can hold it with force. That's the ultimate basis of property, no matter how libertarians try to mask it: the imposition of force on the existing natural world to create artificial division of ownership.
