there’s a very long list. [/quote:972cc120fd]

But that is the point I’m trying to make, it is a term that is thrown around a lot and it can mean different things to different people. You said it is a very long list, and that is the problem. The elements of that list bring can bring up all sorts of potential issues that are not black and white. The term "IP" compresses all these into a single term that can confuse – Especially to people who do not understand them.

If we are talking about reform copyright and patent law it is going to involve lawmakers. Politicians are very good at taking a term that is a hot topic or important around and making bad law around it in an attempt to please interests or get votes.
