Are you saying we should not mention what we don't endorse? Come on. Peters mentions what is happening, to display a level of knowledge applicable to selling books. He may or may not have a side in the argument, but is that really the point? Is it not the point to understand that whether or not you like what is going on, that it IS going on, and rather than just whine about how we don't like it, that we decide to do something about it, or at the very least insulate ourselves from it's effects?

I don't understand your point in that question; I am further annoyed with the rather cavalier attitude by some regarding IP (intellectual property) and R&D that gets 'stolen' by those that don't/won't respect patent law; I see nothing wrong with being granted a period of time during which one can recoup his (or her) financial investment or time before the idea/method becomes, quite literally, 'public property' ...
