That aside, you've misunderstood the RIAA strategy. They file John Doe claims so they can subpoena records from the ISPs that identify who the defendants are. Once they know who the defendant is, they can proceed with a normal case. The RIAA bends the rules in multiple ways in the course of doing this, but the dodgy part is not the John Doe claim itself, but other details in how they go about it.
Except that the name may indicate intent. I don't know about Swedish law, but in the legal systems I'm familiar with one of the requirements to prove a crime is to prove intent. A website that helps people to violate copyright might be legal if the operator is unaware that it is being used for that purpose, and does not intend for the site to be used that way. Take the same site and name it "Pirate Bay", and it may become illegal, because the name of the site is evidence that that operators intended the site to aid in violating copyright.
This isn't true at all. Marriage is primarily a civil matter. It is an arrangement in which society recognizes two people has having formed a bond that imposes some responsibilities on each toward the other. Religions have overlaid religious significance on this civil arrangement, to varying degrees. While the Roman Catholic church has gone as far as to make marriage a sacrament (comparable to baptism or communion), not all religions (Christian or otherwise) go this far. Many do not consider marriage to be of great religious significance.
In some European countries (Germany, I think?) churches are not even allowed to legally marry people. Couples are legally married in a civil ceremony, and then have a religious ceremony if they wish, but the religious ceremony has no legal effect whatsoever.
-Gas is $3
-Cost to drive Corolla: $3/gal / 30 mi/gal = $0.10
-Cost to drive Prius: $3/gal / 40 mi/gal = $0.075
You fill up a 13 gallon tank once a week, so you are driving about 13x30=390 mi/wk
-Corolla: $0.10
-Prius: $0.075
So, the Prius saves you $5070 over ten years, so in the long run you pay less than $1000 more to do something good for the environment and drive a nicer car. You also have to ask yourself how the resale values of both cars will compare at the end of that ten years. If the Prius is worth $930 more than the Corolla, it wins.
With your proposal, potential licensees will just proceed with the product development themselves and not pay the inventor a dime. If the patent clock runs out before they finish their product development, they are free and clear. If it doesn't, they start selling the product anyway. If the inventor can't sue, she has no recourse. Even if the inventor could have potentially developed the product, nobody will finance that because larger competitors will likely beat her to market.
