Why fight a bogus company in courtrooms in the name of a broken model? Nonsense! Just change the business model to something that previously worked, like shareware. End of story. Back to business.
- lukifer 14y agoAnd what happens when shareware is patented? (Don't say it can't happen.) The patent system is a mess. I'm not sure if it needs reforming or complete elimination, but it is hampering more innovation than it encourages, and it's getting worse.
- mmariani 14y agoMess is an understatement, it's worse than that. We need to be sure on what we want to do with it, because if we don't, we may end up in a shoddier spot than we are now. PS: Apparently it already is :-/ http://www.google.com/patents/US6330549 http://www.google.com/patents/US6330549
