Well, I did want that.  I just didn't expect this...

True.  I should have said (probably) "intellectual property law".
Notice how the very name contains a lie: there is no such thing as
"intellectual property", since "intellectual" things are not material
and thus cannot be a "property" at all.

And now I have another question, but I'll put in in a separate thread,
I guess.
