More rubbish that advocates the false-to-fact concept of "Intellectual Property". In my view, "IP" can't exist. Who invented the light bulb? Who invented radio? Who invented television? Who invented the linked list? Who invented the telegraph? Multiple people, all at about the same time.<p>Can't happen elsewhere? What about the history of the Knuth-Morris-Pratt string matching algorithm?<p>Independent invention nullifies the ownership of ideas. "Intellectual Property" - bah, humbug! A false concept to try to get governments to enforce monopolies.
