P.S. I guess you're smarter than two economists from Washington University in St. Louis? It is a government created monopoly, therefore IT HINDERS innovation. No monopoly on earth drives innovation, nice try though. How's that public education working for you? |
Uh, thatz what I read. Your words are the bases, if you think theyre trivial, then so be it. Yeah, I know you dont claim things. Narcissistic attitude...nope. Rather, your blanket statements were fun to read.
Monopoly ... exactly right. That is EXACTLY what patents and copyrights are. But there is an exchange...the inventor or author makes a public disclosure that becomes public domain after the limited monopoly period expires. Why would an inventor publicly disclose something that she or he could retain FOREVER as a trade secret ... the ONLY reason is that there is patent protection. Okay, so how about no more public teachings ... all good technology is kept secret forever. Not a good scene ... my comments were just because you made blanket statements without knowing the full picture.
