Just to chip in, I also completely agree with the selected passage. I.P. laws can be both a benefit and a hindrance; they have to be carefully balanced. I wish the idea had more exposure, that an overly restrictive and draconian I.P. enforcement regime can have just as negative an effect as rampant piracy - or can easily be worse!
Oh, and in before someone points out google's obvious interest in the issue.
