| Message | Technology should be protected by patent law not copyright. If we ignore that oversight - then yes, we must allow patents. Firstly, because I would be out of a job as a patent lawyer if there was no such thing and secondly because no inventor would ever disclose his invention if it could be copied - he would keep it secret. |

When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." - Confucius |
