Personally, I don't think intellectual property or software patents deserve
ANY RESPECT WHATSOEVER!
seriously... that's what allows people to abuse copyright for 70+ years and
that's after the original creator is dead.
bs... the author doesn't care only the company does...
besides, they usually add malfeatures spying, viruses, vulnerabilities, etc,
I understand the reasons for why we shouldn't leak anything, due to
punishment from law enforcement, etc,
but the fact of the matter is, COPYRIGHT PATENTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!
especially considering all the proprietary malfeatures such as being locked
in, being spied on, deceived, have your info sold for money, etc...
If you want a piece of software something that can be emulated with free
software but it costs money and has malfeatures, screw the people who add
those malfeatures, do it your way not their way. Meaning, download it.
I mean the dmca only punishes the uploaders not the downloaders right?
If I am wrong you may enlighten me but that's my theory.
