  It still keeps them from being able to get funding easily during that time, males it more risky, you can stil get sued if somebody thinks your design is close enough, etc...
  
  Isn't the need for a better enginge a motivation that's good enough already?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Technology in evolution

  You DO know that the current system is the NON-NATURAL system, right? So if it proves to be wrong, isn't that then a double monumental failure since we stopped doing what's natural with the intention to do better but did worse?
  
  I am certain patents are causing more harm then good.

  Re:

  That is so horribly that they should get banned from doing ANY business at all for at least a whole year to show them that they aren't allowed to act like that.

  Re: Copyright laws need major revamp

  This is how I see it: broadcasting something should give you NO new additional rights automatically out of the blue. Whatever you broadcast, they rights you get is the rights you are given by the copyright holder. If there are no copyright holder (public domain works), you can not get any exclusive rights.

  Re:

  This is just too "good" to not be abused!
  If this goes through, I'd love to see a bunch of independent broadcasters, etc, start broadcasting EVERYTHING they can find (why not old shows by THE OTHER broadcasting companies?) and then license it freely to the entire world! :D

  My suggestion:
  
  Show it to some geek friends and let them make a nearly identical dummy, then put it next to the real one on the car.

  Re: Mudak

  Being a little guy isn't a magic free pass to do anything. Just because you had an idea that you think is so great that you deserve a 20 year monopoly on it, that does not mean that you are the first one to have the idea.
  Also, patents are supposed to appply to implementations. So just build something that works first, THEN file a patent for THAT. Then you can come back and tell us if it passed.
  After that you can feel free to sue any big company that just blatantly takes your invention without paying.
  
  But don't try to fool us to think that it is impossible for several people to have the same idea at around the same time independently of each other.

  Re: misguided

  Wow, how constructive your post was. You even managed to get a few arguments in there. Or not.
  
  For claiming that IPR is good for technology, you know awfully little about it. Your web site spits out this:
  
  "Internal Server Error
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
  Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@truereform.piausa.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
  More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
  Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
  Apache/2.2.16 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 Phusion_Passenger/2.2.5 Server at truereform.piausa.org Port 80"
  
  But no maybe I have violated your copyrights even though you never wrote any of that?
  
  By the way, how funny that you use open source, patent free, software. That really supports your entire cause for stronger "property rights".
