Please re-read my comment. I never said software patents are benign, in fact I said exactly the opposite.

- tjr 14y agoI'm trying to understand what it is you find non-harmful about the MP3 patent that is harmful about other software patents. You say the MP3 patent really did no harm; what harm did it not do? And of the harm that it did not do, what harm do other software patents do?
- cgh 14y agoThere are varying degrees of harm. The fact that equally effective free alternatives to mp3 never caught on makes this obvious. My point was that Stallman is not right 100% of the time, as the above poster asserted.
