  Re: Wow

  And thats the actual departure that most folks don't realize. This has nothing to do with "starving artists" this is about power, influence and being able to force you to use something that you purchased in such a way as to limit it's long term usefulness.
  
  I see no moral gray area in converting an 8-track to CD and neither has the USSC. New music will have DRM making it illegal to do this and that's injustice, clean and simple to quote Joe Biden. The act of converting it is not illegal, but violating the silly restrictions they impose on it is. It's really just a loop hole their using to get around decency.

• On the post: Why Kenya's Attempt To Put Intellectual Property Rights In Its Constitution Is A Mistake

  I'm fairly sure, that if the architects of the US Constitution could see how IP turned out. They would have forbid it explicitly.

• On the post: Describing How To Create A Software Program Now Puts You At Risk Of Contributory Patent Infringement?

  Intellectual Foreclosure

  So, this makes perfect sense actually... If you allow ownership of concept, then you have to defend the right to control the spread of that concept/property. Otherwise, there is no legitimate benefit to the ownership of ideas. The only thing you can do with a concept is implement it, but why would you implement it when you have 20 years to see if you were right and collect royalties risk free. There is no right of exclusivity if the idea is spread outside of the jurisdiction that grants the monopoly.

  Re: Re: Re:

  hua, so... you're saying... he's just here to state one message over and over again, never addressing the issue, just chiming in with a copy paste agenda? Why would he do that? I mean..... you think hes being paid to do it? Or do you think maybe he just believes that anyone reading these posts might think that he has a valid point, when all he does is Ctrl+V then abandon the debate when points are scored against him?

  Re:

  Please elaborate? What game is this derived from? Also, please explain how you can't see the creativity in this? I see it FAR more creative than ANY other sanctioned schwag? Have you seen those awesome key chains or the cheap plastic crap BK is giving away? THIS is the future of your business bucko, you should be calling these guys and offering them anything they want... including promotion, damn, you fellas really are stuck on the idea of forcing everyone to "pay, pay, pay" it's not gonna play out like that... I know for a fact, I also think you know it deep down, but you already have the wheels in motion and your just trucking toward the edge of the world.

  Shadow Six ( profile ), 23 Jun, 2010 @ 09:58am

  Pfft we all knew It was just a matter of time. The power of big industry is overwhelming the USA and all of EU. New Zealand didn't stand a chance.
  
  These patents allow companies to tax innovation that would otherwise threaten them. Idea patents are little more than disruptive technology insurance. These lawyers know it, you know it, I know it, hell even trolls know it.

  Are you high? You just spent... I don't know.. 10-15 minutes typing that???
  
  Like he said, NO ONE CAN EVER present evidence of what happened in an alternate reality. Why not get on board with the movement, help us nix 90% of the patents and see what happens. Then you can present evidence to have the system re-broken and I'm sure you would be victorious.

  Oh, they have you on retainer as well? You should probably disclose that.
