Maybe I see things different. So if I back in the day designed a bi-cycle and got a patent. Can I sue someone who makes something that works similar but is of a different design (say different frame shape, maybe a shock absorber added). my understanding is that a patent is for a very specific design. So in this case it should be specific to the code (aka the design) that FlightPrep used. Therefore if I were to create a separate and unique code that requires innovation and capital investment on my part I should then have a ground for my own new unique patent. To say that once FlightPrep created their system and got a patent all others are in violation is like getting a patent for an idea. If we can patent ideas then I would like to apply for a patent for a system to store our medical records electronically so that I can sue the government as well as all the health care companies.
So this seems to be overlooked but this brings up a new potential problem.
What say happens if I dislike a coworker and brought something illegal on a thumb drive copied files with his/her name on it and then handed it to police telling them i found it plugged into a shared computer at work.
how can you now prove who actually had the illegal files the bad citizen or the good one?
As a former member of the airforce and a member of the regular public I can firmly say that in the world of hacking degrees dont mean shit. they're about as usefull as a piece of bacon in israel

So according to the MPAA:
Sharing = Theft
Theft = Crime
Therefore:
Parent teaching kids to share = Criminal
Therefore
Me = very sad person upset with criminal parents.
HMM
