Cornell Law disagrees.

Property is anything (items or attributes/tangible or intangible) that can be owned by a person or entity. Property is the most complete right to something; the owner can possess, use, transfer or dispose of it.

The point isn't that intangible objects can't be property. The point is that domains are not legally owned by people or corporations. You can pay for the right to use one, but you don't own it.
