There is nothing to hijack on this thread..its a TP2 forum and it doesn't even belong here..so this thread itself is offtopic. That said, patents right now may hinder innovation, but in general they are needed and 2 years is not enough.
The problem lies in how the patent system is abused, this even goes for the law system in general. To put a patent for 2 years though is not the answer as it will completely kill innovation. Unless you have the money, there is no way you would be able to make your product hit the market.
As the saying goes "Too little of something is bad and too much of something is bad"
On other note, even the concept of democracy and capitalism if you think about it are 1000 year old systems. It just happens to be somewhat better then the other choices available atm.
