1. In Chapter 14 you studied real and personal property. Why might the legal rules for intellectual property be different in any fashion? Clue: Consider the different attitudes we might have toward the results from thinking and the output from physical exertion.
 2. Some argue that intellectual property should be available for everyone once it is produced by someone’s mind. What ethical norm underlies this attitude toward sharing mental output? Clue: Should a person benefit because her mind creates an idea that other minds, for some reason, did not produce?
3. If an idea becomes a legal source of great wealth for a person, what information about the “discovery†would cause you to be more supportive of protecting the property right to the fruits of the discovery? Clue: The play and movie, Amadeus, suggest that Mozart’s brilliant compositions resulted more from his genius than from any hard work on his part.
