[pp.int.general] WIPO DG mentions Pirate Party in speech to Blue Sky conference

[Richard Stallman]

    With intellectual property this is not the case. Many companies have 
    huge portfolios of intellectual property (often different kinds 
    combined, although we are seeing concentrations of specific intellectual 
    properties in specific industrial branches). The reason for this is, 
    that individually those intellectual properties are worthless: they 
    can't be valued. We do not know their exact worth in this moment.

I believe what you say about them, but why should these details
of some business's legal tactics matter to us?

    I don't actually know how though. Therés no legislation coming up in EU 
    and most of this is regulated by contract law.

Contract law is not one of the laws sometimes referred to as
"intellectual property".
