"1. How would you like to see someone spread your idea which, could make you a large return as their own idea and potentially make money on it themselves?"
This topic has been discussed many a time with various view points. I however tend to agree upon the view that an idea has no intrinsic value. The real value comes from the actual implementation of that idea. Example; a sorting processe. The idea of sorting data is not something that only one persone has thought of throughout to evolution of programming. If you do know the first person who thought of the idea of sorting and patented it, please let all of us know. Now, the actual implementation of the sorting idea may include bubble sort, binary sort, etc. This is where the real value comes in and where the patents and copyrights start.
If you still believe that an idea can be patented or copyrighted, then you should also support Eolas patent suite agains MS. You would also believe that there should only be one manufacturer of any product in this world, i.e. One car manufacturer, one aircraft manufacturer, one OS developer, etc.
"2. Do you object to the fact that you have to pay to go and see a movie?"
I do not object to going to see a movie. I do however object to paying for a lousy movie; an idea that was badly implemented. This is of course impossible as you have to pay BEFORE you watch. - Posted by: in-DUH-vidual Posted on: 02/06/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
