Not property crime
[edit]Until I removed it today, this category was a member of Category:Property crimes. However, no other "intellectual property" offenses such as trademark infringement and patent infringement were members of that category. More importantly, the property crimes article does not support the inclusion of copyright, trademark or patent infringement in the property crimes category. For some rationale as to why this is the case, see Intellectual property#Criticisms. In a nutshell, property crime has long had a particular meaning in the law, and is distinct from offenses related to "intellectual property." —mjb (talk) 12:00, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
