I do not accept the term &ldquo;intellectual property&rdquo;. The very term is biased and confusing. It talks about useful techniques and works. It presumes they are &ldquo;property&rdquo;. It prejudges such questions. There's also a more subtle problem. It lumps together all the diverse things and makes it look like you can talk about all of them together. Copyright, patents, trade laws&mdash;are all very different. It takes the geatest efforts of the best scholars to overcome the confusion caused by the term &ldquo;intellectual property&rdquo; and to discuss the details of these individual items.
