    Are you suggesting that because people 200 years ago did something, we have to tolerate the same thing now? That's just silly.

      Of course I'm not. That's why I used the precise phrase I used. Key words: "historical" and "perspective".
      • leereeves 8y ago
        Then how is this "historical perspective" relevant to the current discussion?

    I mean, interesting, but after reading the first link I found this pretty good rebuttal: So it is odd to hear today that America stole secrets from Arkwright when Arkwright himself was claiming that he had disclosed the machines in his patent specifications to a degree sufficient to make and use them.

      Aren't patents all about disclosure? They were meant to prevent secrecy in return for a limited monopoly.

  Please don't post unsubstantive comments here, and especially not nationalistic flamebait.
