I'm brain washed? Lol, ok, since you want to make this about the people in the argument and not the topic itself fine, but it's still worth pointing out how you're wrong.
You came across as an I'm 13, and this is a deep post. I get it. You hate rich people; we all do, but you clearly have no idea how IP laws work, thinking it's just the guy with the most money running around stealing stuff lol. You have some fantasy in your head where if we open everything up it'll be all better. Ignoring the reality of how laws and lobbying worry, ignoring how patents work, ignoring how you don't need millions to fight an IP case. I mean how did every famous author make money? They owned their own works. You are sorely misinformed about a topic you have more feelings about than facts.
This is %100 not the case. Small mom and pop grocery stores have won cases against Apple. You're just making stuff up, and I'm brainwashed? lol
No. Fully no. There are tons of authors, artists, and inventors who have made money off their inventions. You live in some other reality where no one owns anything right now. What you're saying is they shouldn't have the sole rights to what they create, you want it to be even EASIER for the rich to take. Because right now, despite what your angsty self might think, that's not how it's happening. And what do we get? Oh, I can make my own iPhone now, wow, yah, I'll get right on that.
You are fighting FOR the rich at this point.
You need to take a breath, educate yourself, and speak on the topic once you know it better instead of ranting about how you feel and think it should be, all from a place of ignorance.
