Do you think that that talking about 'IP' inevitably biases one in
talking about the issue.
Talking about 'IP' naturally leads people to think that this is one
single unified issue. For instance, you said "about the issue", which
indicates you are treating it as one unified issue, something it
makes sense to choose as a topic.
If so in what terms would you prefer the debate to be conducted?
We should discuss copyrights separately, discuss patents separately,
discuss trademarks separately, and not be led into treating them as a
single issue.
