Abstract
The Property Rights Movement (PRM)1 took active interest in several cases argued during the past several Supreme Court terms. It was hardly surprising to see PRM activists mobilize in support of Susette Kelo, whose home was condemned by the city of New London to make way for Pfizer Corporation to clear the land for construction of an industrial park. This is not to say that property rights enthusiasts and some intellectual property owners will not date on occasion. Just as in the eBay case, various intellectual property owners will from time to time press for strong protection, and they are prone to being seduced by libertarian impulses. But the PRM will want more than even these owners are willing to stomach. In the end, deeply ingrained religious, functional, psychological, and political differences stand in the way of a harmonious and sustainable marriage." (p. 1, 42)
