- CRConrad 5y agoOpposite use case, but basically same idea. If only some forward-looking intellectual freedom fighter had beaten these bastards to the punch and applied it to the home-building business like those guys did to music. Hm... Maybe someone ought to go through all industries, check whether they rely on common and semi-obvious "intellectual property" like this, and start algorithmically generating and publishing all combinations. But who? I don't think I'm up to it on my own... The EFF or some body like that?
