  A wiki specifically on the topic written by non-lawyers is interesting; but I don’t see why it should be considered an unbiased list of ideas. Sometimes the status quo is imperfect but okay.

    Why did you specify “non-lawyers”? Did you mean to imply that something written by lawyers would be unbiased? And where did I ever claim that this was unbiased? It’s the “End Software Patents Wiki”; it’s about as biased as it gets. But I thought you wanted arguments, so I linked it. If you want to dismiss them without reading them, that’s up to you.

    Have you ever wondered why lawyers themselves have nothing in their field remotely similar to patents?

      A though provoking question! But 99.9% of legal arguments are copies. I.e. ideas with precedence. Copying is to be encouraged. If legal ideas, which are the fallback of all our rights, could be owned, not even a veneer of justice would remain.
