Abuse is a feature.

The mere existence of patents is abuse, theft, and bald-faced corruption. Burn the system to the ground.

I invent something. Since there are no patents, my idea is put in the open. A big company sees my idea and uses its much bigger budget to advertise and out sell me, putting me out of business. How’s that not abusive?

Patents prevent theft. Patents on medicine based on publicly funded research is stupid. I could be persuaded that it’s theft in that particular instance. But in general, no patents are not theft.

That almost made sense in the age of the cotton gin. It does not any more. All patents are abuse. Always. Every time.

Case in point: you “invent” something (which is guaranteed to be something - or a combination of somethings - that are already extant, btw)… a corporation…

Either way, they win. And even if you win, chances are you’ve merely stolen some concept that should always have been public domain, anyway.

You see this as a way to fight against wealthy corporations, but no matter how you swing it, it’s theft. It’s plain old theft from society and the public… and the bigger and wealthier you are, the more you can steal.
