Once ideas get locked up and can't be used to seed new ideas, the result will
inevitable be an intellectual poverty.
It is, however, the best way to stifle innovation and strangle creativity.
It's how the one-eyed make themselves kings: blind everybody else.

To be fair, they consider the work done for hire by the first group to be
property.
They just don't consider that the first group is doing any work that's not for
hire by the big companies they are part of.
They also don't understand the normal state of the art, and so they vastly
overestimate how unique the solutions for the problems they hire people to solve
are.
The problems themselves are frequently unique, but the solutions are assemblies
of stock components.
It's as if they were building physical things and didn't know that hardware
stores existed, when their employees build something they try to patent the
bolts.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Intellectual property" is really very simple: "the second group" considers
the intellect of "the first group" their property."
So much of what
I see today, especially concerning technology litigation, reminds me of the book
Atlas Shrugged. Too bad there's no "Galt's Gulch" everyone in the first group
could retreat to. Let the second group run the world for a decade or two, and
then when the logical conclusion of their worldview causes everything to crash
down around them, the first group could come back in, pick up the pieces, and
rebuilt society the way it should have been built the first time. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
