Damoclean sword threatening competitors.
In today's IP-insanity infested world, not having a patent on anything and everything you do is the real Damoclean sword. You end up waiting for some patent troll or overly aggressive ip legal team to sue you for something you've been doing for years.
This is more like Apple's evil "look-and-feel" lawsuits from the early 90s.
Except without the lawsuits.
And its my opinion that someone who people who repeatedly, knowingly, constantly take other peoples hard work for free, again and again and again,with zero intention of ever paying for it, or giving a shit about the effects of what they do, deserve what they get.
pure and simple.
I knowingly, contantly, take other peoples hard work for free, again and again and again! I listened to the radio and when a commercial came on, I CHANGED THE CHANNEL! Wha ha ha ha ha! Whenever I watch tv, I intentionally avoid commercials, EVERY DAMN TIME! I borrow books from the library, watch movies at friends houses, borrow thier games and use open source software and none of those guys ever see a single dime from me! I am EVIL! I am a dirty rotten stinky theif and I deserve what I get!
Could you define "natural rights, then?
Natural rights (also called moral rights or inalienable rights) are rights which are not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of a particular society or polity. In contrast, legal rights (sometimes also called civil rights or statutory rights) are rights conveyed by a particular polity, codified into legal statutes by some form of legislature, and as such are contingent upon local laws, customs, or beliefs. Natural rights are thus necessarily universal, whereas legal rights are culturally and politically relative. source
The answer to most of the rest of your questions is "no". source
