I would add a privacy right:
9.To use legally acquired intellectual entities personally or within
one's household without interference or tracing.
Where
"use"means: store; sense; copy; show or play to others; execute
(e.g. a computer program); utilise for some purpose; destroy; etc.
"personally" means: in one's physical presence
"household" means: one's usual or temporary abode(s)
M. Aigrain's article is an excellent discussion of intellectual
property issues.

Phillippe Aigrain has an excellent article on 'positive intellectual
rights' (well, maybe it's old news, but I hadn't seen it before):
http://opensource.mit.edu/papers/aigrain.pdf
...
Anyway, here's his list (though the article has much more than this, and
would be worth reading even without it)
Positive rights:
1. To create new intellectual entities, including by making use of
existing ones. ['intellectual entities' are defined earlier]
2. To make one's creation public
3. To be acknowledged as creator of all or part of an intellectual entity
4. To obtain economical or non-economical reward for one's creation, in
proportion to the interest other have had for it
5. To access any intellectual entity that has been made public
6. To quote extracts of an intellectual entity whatever it's media, for
the purpose of information, analysis, criticism, teaching, research, or
the creation of other intellectual entities
7. To redress mistakes, libellous statements, false information, erroneous
attributions
8. To give reference, link to, or create inventories of intellectual
entities produced by others as soon as they become public.
