The problem is already a legislative one. Copyright law is being abused to deny ownership of physical objects. The problem is already directly caused by law.

- TaylorAlexander 10y agoThis is a good point. I am generally anti-copyright but that view is somewhat recent and I still sometimes have an internalized belief that copyright is natural. However we invented copyright and I do think we should either go to something like 5 year terms or eliminate it completely. I completely forgot that without copyright, this issue would be dramatically different. They could still use obscurity to a point, but we would have the legal right to discover what they are doing and reproduce it.
