<div dir="ltr">Hey guys, <div>I agree that it is very sad to see so much anger over an issue as simple as that, and I also urge you to restrain.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, on the topic. I also find it ridiculous to see so much effort being put into debating the appicability of some term...Because this is just some wording, dammit! I mean, what matters is the nature of phenomena we are talking about and what do we want to do with it - not a term we use to describe it.</div>
<div>Look, saying that "intellectual property" is a wrong term because it has nothing to do with "property" is as ridiculous as saying that a "guinea pig" is a wrong term because these creatures have nothing to do with pigs! Well, of course guinea pigs have nothing to do with pigs: that's why we call them GUINEA pigs - to differentiate from pigs. And of course intellectual property has nothing to do with property in conventional understanding of this term: but that why we call it INTELLECTUAL property - to differentiate it from just property!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Ilya.</div></div>
