+"Another SCO tool of obfuscation is the term “intellectual "
+"property”. This fashionable but foolish term carries an evident bias: "
+"that the right way to treat works, ideas, and names is as a kind of "
+"property. Less evident is the harm it does by inciting simplistic thinking: "
+"it lumps together diverse laws—copyright law, patent law, trademark "
+"law and others—which really have little in common. This leads people "
+"to suppose those laws are one single issue, the “intellectual property "
+"issue”, and think about “it”—which means, to think "
+"at such a broad abstract level that the specific social issues raised by "
+"these various laws are not even visible. Any opinion “about "
+"intellectual property” is thus bound to be foolish. (See <a "
+"href=\"/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html\">our list of words to avoid</a> for "
+"more explanation of the confusion caused by this term.)"
