You may have heard people using a misleading term &ldquo;Intellectual Property&rdquo;. This term, as you can see, is biased. It makes an assumption that whatever it is you are talking about, the way to treat it is as a kind of property, which is one among many alternatives. This term &ldquo;Intellectual Property&rdquo; pre-judges the most basic question in whatever area you are dealing with. This is not conducive to clear and open minded thinking.
