You don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of the full breadth of IP law to know what someone means when they say "IP law".
Nobody is confused about what is being referred to when someone says "IP", except people like Stallman (and maybe you) who are trying to score gotchas by pretending you can't talk about complex things in simplified terms.

The point that "IP law[1] is really complicated and not well-served by blanket statements and umbrella categories" is exactly the point being made upthread, albeit via a metaphor. You seem to be making a purely linguistic point, which surely everyone can concede. But it's not responsive to the discussion. At all. [1] See? I even used the term right there and no one flipped out.
