I cant see any rational player voluntarily opting to honor a grossly abused ideas monopoly concept that only a force monopoly form of government could even pretend to enforce. You know how many companies in China had a history of laughing in the face of western "IP" and just cloning whatever they wanted. Yep thats what it looks like, and its a good thing for human progress. I hope when they overtake the US in economic and geo-political strength in the next few decades they say "screw that" and treat it as a strongly defensible ethical stance, and not pay lip service to the WIPO bully tactics. I mean the best you could say is put a donate link in the doco if you want to pore through the list of starving former patent trolls, small investors, and IP luddites who are climbing over each other to claim to be first to have thought of the 1,000,000 stupid and overlapping "xor cursor" grade things that went into making the given product. Or just skip. Let the market choose, thats a nice euphamism for it shriveling and dieing. Adam On Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 02:56:50PM +0100, rysiek wrote:

Can we all agree that if a 'patent system' were implemented by 'voluntary-ist' methods, that doesn't involve government-initiated force, that would solve the problem: Those that agreed with copyrights/patents would buy only from stores that specialize in copyright/patent-honoring products/manufacturers; others would buy from all stores, including those that sold non-copyright/patent-honoring products.

I can agree with that ^-^
Perfect. Let the market sort it out. I love it. :)
