The Terrible Cost Of Patents
- monochromatic 15y agoIs there anything in this article that hasn't been said a dozen times already? Go get some new thoughts.
- andreyf 15y agoWasn't it all said in '91? http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/int-prop/lpf-against-software-patents.html http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/int-p...
- SkyMarshal 15y agoI have no problem with TC rehashing this issue over and over again, regardless of whether they have anything new to say. I hope they repost this exact same article to the front page every day. Clue train: it's not us who are the audience, they're hoping it gets seen by politicians, lawyers, and others outside the industry via reposts to Google+ and FB, and other network effects. The more cacophony there is about this problem, the better, even if it sounds a little redundant to those of us already intimately familiar with it.
- monochromatic 15y agoOk, fine. I guess I would settle for it just not being reposted to HN all the damn time (and upvoted!), if we're not the audience.
