    That's why, I don't think we should lose ourselves in economical  
    debates about Intellectual Property : Intellectual Control is a  
    political theft of the freedom of consciousness that has only been  
    artificially delegated to "authors".

I think it's a mistake to try to talk about copyright law and
patent law as part of any more general category.
