Can we all at least agree that IP law is a huge cluster fuck, that will do nothing in the end except hurt the consumer, and make IP lawyers rich??
My son has several friends in the final years of law school at Iowa, and every single one with the exception of 1 guy (going to be a Public Defender) is gong into Intellectual Property law.
IP was developed to protect individual idea's, and now the individual is just screwed.
We now have IP based companies that are using the Mafia protection model. You have an idea, go to them and they will protect you buy counter suing anyone who attacks you. Their arsenal is 10's of thousands of IP patents and copy rights that they grab buy buying defuct companies rights. The fear of counter suits stops companies from attacking you. Oh and by the way, if you don't pay them for the "Protection" they will sue you and take your IP.
"How you going to stop them"
"I'm going to make them an offer they cant refuse"........
