Property rights vs. Human rights

Ah, nothing gets me going and puts you all to sleep quite like an article on property rights. In case you don’t want to read the whole thing, it contains the best two sentence definition of property rights I have ever seen (emph. mine):

Property rights are human rights to use economic goods and services. Private property rights contain your right to use, transfer, trade and exclude others from use of property deemed yours.
