Law And Human Genetics Book

In light of the SOPA/PIPA/CISPA/etc. propositions, this sentence struck me hardest, I think:
"The right to learn is now aggressively opposed by intellectual property advocates, who want ideas elevated to the status of land, cars, and other physical assets so that their unauthorized acquisition can be prosecuted as theft."
The recent DOJ case involving Amazon and other e-book peddlers and major publishing houses crops up in my mind, too, because there's a fine line between an idea and the execution of an idea. One should be free. The other can generate a profit, without which, one loses the incentive for anyone to execute ideas. That line, however, is very very thin sometimes, especially in the sciences, and that's largely what this book is about.
