Yeah, "intellectual property" is still property.
Doug elides (and I don't think you mean to) these with managers, and I don't. Managers are just like cops: street-level enforcers of the boss' will. I think you mean to say that if you've learned something that's portable and hasn't yet been commodified (liek the lower end of IT). Maybe with the demise of the tenure system it's not as true for professors anymore ...
