And the problem with Western society is your deference to "great" men (K. Popper) Your hero worshipping is bunk. Yes, chinese disguise ideas as their own but westerners do so also. And there's definitely no significant difference there. To be honest with you, I could care less about "intellectual property" -- I am chinese. The idea of IP is to subjugate people into idolatry. Please spare me. IP should be like tipping your cap to someone. But that is all. (re: Mickey mouse crap,... 90 years licence to sell you little stuffed animals, i mean come on!!) And remember, in some parts of china, chinese people lived without locks on their homes. The idea that property needs to be hoarded is a western trait.
