Hi Klepht, you should be more precise about these kinds of startments. 
The very term "intellectual property" plays into the hands of the DMCA
supporters.  Let's follow Stallman's advice and separate these things
into sensible categories, such as trade secrets, patents, and
copyrights.

Right, so it's better to say, "I'm an author, and I oppose the DMCA." 
Insert inventor, software developer, musician, etc as required.  It is
better to have people relating to real people with real jobs, not
intellectual property holders.
