"This is so much the case that it can't be long before reading a book -
making an unauthorised copy in your brain - is also made illegal."

Sure, it's hyperbolic.  But I like the sentiment... carrying things to
their "logical" conclusion ... or "runaway inference".  It reminds me of
a few of my friends who are especially attached to the concept of
"downloading" their minds into a computer.
