Yes, i meant it more like: "Unrealized gains billionaire". The phrase is not meant to be absolutely serious of course, but it passes a point across which i think it's important. Not only better and better technology gives us more opportunities to compete with one another, but we become better at competing with one another regardless of technology. The edge one holds in anything such as making movies, making cars or what have you, gets smaller and smaller in duration. The timeline of the first mover advantage to capitalize on any gains gets shorter and shorter. In such a situation, copyrights, patents, IP, end up almost irrelevant.
