Seems to me that selling a tractor to a farmer for over a quarter of a million dollars, then telling him that he does not have the right to use it as he sees fit is JUST PLAIN WRONG.
My take on "intellectual property" is that if you want to "sell" it, you need to give the buyer some value from it, and you cannot continue to "own" it while in another person's possession.

It has happened before, and it will happen again.
