   You could send a DMCA notice to Apple for the app, but I find it strange that you would ask people on this site on protecting your copyright when YC is so vehemently opposed to copyright monopolies like yours. I support copyrights though, s

   Does anyone remember Konqueror has a webbrowser/file browser methodology of handling protocols such as SFTP through IOSlaves called FISH? I know Konqueror shares a codebase with Chromium through the KHTML renderer and maybe more, but maybe

   I am under the impression that Rick Falkvinge regards any enforcement of copyrights as a monopoly. He seems to regard companies as intrinsically opposing individual freedoms with regards to copyright. It seems to be an odd article to be lin

   I don't understand what a "copyright monopoly" is, even though the term keeps getting repeated in the article. Do people just assume monopolies are such a Bad Thing(tm) that the idea of a creator(1) having exclusive control of their own wor

   I think it is instead a bad company that runs people. Just because C/Net tends to attract morally ambiguous people who have no qualms twisting the facts to suit their marketing/business campaigns is a side effect of their mission statement,

    How could LinkedIn possibly work for entrepreneurs? I see it as a tool solely for head-hunters. Given the focus of this site, the Facebook and Twitter apps would be a better suggestion than LinkedIn for team messaging and Press Releases. A

    Can I still use this news.ycombinator site for free or should I stop until I can be charged for its usage?

    Woah. What? The iOS market is a 2.5 billion per year and growing. It is not unusual to only have one type of build system[1] supported per industry (major product line)[2]. [1] Mac with OS X 10.7 with XCode 3 or 4 using iOS API's [2] The in

    If this were a game, what sport would it be? Last I checked, gambling, and lets be honest, that's what this is, isn't a sport.

    OK, this is going to be unpopular, but here it goes. Life isn't supposed to be beautiful or elegant or simple or perfect. If an entrepreneur can make money while improving the parts of life (no matter how small) that others benefit from, wh

    Obj-C and Cocoa are defiantly the main language and libraries developers are using build apps. The language and libraries are well thought out and don't suck. Its not perfect, but nothing is. Not even Java and C# are perfect. I'm no tech ev

    Well, they had to. So this means they did what was expected and Apple can move to the next step, but Lodsys is showing real savvy as a litigator, meaning that they didn't hire inexperienced people. They must have a well funded company backi

    I wonder what the government should do to generate revenue from entrepreneurial sources? Maybe have a Value Added Tax to Angel Investor funds of a small percent, say 30%, to help stabilize the market.

    People are driving on the road paid for by their taxes. And freedom of travel by automobile is a liberty not a right because it can be taken away, as this article appears to document, unjustly or in criminal matters, justly.

    I don't think an article where Clinton, a life long Democrat, bashes Republicans is particually useful to a site for entrepreneurs. I am obviously in the minority of with this opinion.
