"IP" is poisonous propaganda
This is to remind people that the term "IP" is poisonous propaganda.
It was coined to lead people to lump various laws together
and assume they are basically similar. That is false!
Please
reject that term
so as to avoid spreading that confusion.
People sometimes respond to ask which term they should use instead,
to refer
collectively to all those laws. That is a misguided question!
Because the laws are so different, it is a mistake to generalize about
them at all. So don't do that! Talk about one law at a time, and
don't lump other unrelated laws with it.
