And what about when you've taken a loan out on your family home to finance the development of a product, but are then ruined by the incumbent oligopoly's abuse of their patent monopoly to put your prices through the roof and never improve their products? I can write emotionally-charged anecdotes too, see. The question is whether the benefits outweigh the negatives. Everything is exaggerated, politicized bullshit from almost any other perspective.

Not my fault if you can't see the difference. I have competed with multi-billion dollar multinationals from my garage with 0.001% of their budget on hand. Does bad shit happen? Sure. The topic you seem to want to discuss is valid and should be discussed. Stop trying to make it equivalent to IP theft and cloning from China. Two very different things. If you can understand the differences then there's a conversation to be had.
