Comment Re:For 1000s time, abolish all copyrights and pate (Score -1) 140
hold up their product, hold up my patent and a product which uses my patent, ask them to explain the difference - and after 30 seconds of silence, just offer a nice licensing deal
- precisely why patents and copyrights as monopoly powers protected by governments must be abolished!
Who the hell knows what 'your' product is?
Tell me the difference between these:
for(int i=0;i
what is the difference except that 2 different people wrote that (I copied it from 2 different files written by 2 different people? Who says that there has to be difference in something that 2 different people created to achieve a similar task?
Regardless of what your patent says, are you implying that nobody else can create whatever it is that is in it without reading through your text?
All of this is of-course beside the point, governments must not be allowed to regulate individual property and businesses in the first place and this means that they must not be allowed to use violence to protect your monopoly on whatever it is you are patenting or copyrighting. There shouldn't be such a concept (at the very minimum not in the software world).
