I saw the article too. FYI - I'm starting to work with Prof Oliver Goodenough (Vermont Law, part of Harvard Berkman Center with Karim) using fMRI to determine if people think differently about intellectual property "theft" than they do physical property theft. I blogged it here: http://prospecttheory.blogspot.com/2008/02/moral-reasoning-why-do-people-perceive.html

Fascinating! You'll have to join us for our Neurotechnology Ventures seminar in the Fall 2008.
