ToDebating the Software Patent Act
MessageIf a person is willing to spend the time and money developing software that work should have the protection of patent, (where sought). Anything else is to effectively legalise theft!

MessageActually its what we like to call profit share, you make it and you share it and you get the rewards for it. So much better then placing a patent on it and then a bunch of underground people getting it and giving it away because your the bad guy.

Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left.

Random quote: "If it were proved to me that in making war, my ideal had a chance of being realized, I would still say 'No' to war, for one does not create human society on mounds of corpses." - Louis Lecoin
