Intellectual Property still respected.

[Dondilion]

One of the big difference between the West and the rest of the world is the
respect for the property of the mind.

A court ordered Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke to pay the family of Marvin
Gaye 7.4 million dollars for their infringement on Marvin Gaye's music; specifically the song "Got To Give It UP'.

The idea that property is more than physical is a strong western one and the
commitment to such an idea is reinforced by financial penalties.
