Hello Jed, Once again, everyone points out there will be plenty of money for everyone.
Everyone is obsessed with money. I am not. The fact is if I was in a situation where I was an inventor and my technology was stolen, money would be the last thing on my mind. If I was forced to accept money, I would work with lawyers to try and find the best way to use it against the company that stole my technology. I would not care how much I had to benefit, or the world had to benefit. I am in the real world. I realize I am not a law expert, but at the same time I know what is right and what is wrong. If I had a technology that was stolen, I would simply strive to do anything and everything to prevent the other company from being able to use my technology. I might fail, and they might be allowed to sell the technology. But I would do everything (that is peaceful and non-violent) to hinder that company for the rest of my life. Hopefully, I would at least slow down the proliferation of the stolen technology. Once again, I am speaking about a hypothetical stolen technology. Sadly, you and others seem to think the needs of the many are more important than the rights of the individual. That is how our sickening world works these days (for the most part). However, I hope that will change in the future. The rights of the individual must be protected at all cost, because otherwise life becomes meaningless. If I do not have my rights and freedoms protected, I might as well not be alive. I do not agree about Rossi. One thing about Rossi is that he never gives up. He is also a very hard worker. I think he will be successful. ________________________________ From: Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 8:38 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Test day in Greece time noone noone <thesteornpa...@yahoo.com> wrote: If I did decide to take money (if I thought it was the best way to fight against the company using my technology), I would let it be known to the courts that any money awarded to me would be instantly used to try and stop the activities of the party that stole my technology. 1. You can't talk in court. Only your lawyer can, and it has to be about the case. 2. They don't care what you use the money for. I would also not allow the offending company to obtain a license agreement. It would not be up to you. You can't make up laws as you go along. I would tell the Judge flat out that I would rather be publicly drawn, hung, and quartered rather than sign the piece of paper. Judges don't care what you think. You don't have to actually sign the paper for this to go into effect. Bear in mind also that these are civil suits. Jail sentences and the police play no role in them. In that sense it is quite different from stealing actual property. The world you are describing is a nightmare world, in my opinion. It is a world that does not deserve cold fusion technology. I hope the reality of things are not as horrible as you portray. > This is the real world. You do not appear to know much about business, contracts and civil lawsuits. There are good reasons why we do things the way we do. You should not assume that laws and customs that have been in place for centuries are "horrible." Sometimes they are dysfunctional or obsolete, but we have to be careful about changing long-standing institutions. The conservative attitude is justified. In this case, the system has protect the interests of customers, and it has to promote technological progress. The system cannot take into account only the intellectual property rights of the inventor, ignoring all other factors. If Defkalion succeeds I expect it will eventually benefit Rossi tremendously. He will make hundreds of millions of dollars. Left to his own devices, he would probably not make any money. I doubt that Defkalion has taken anything from him, but even if they have, he will probably get more from them than he could ever earn by himself. Don't fret about any of this. It will probably work out well for everyone. There will be barrels of money. Enough for everyone. In 10 years the dispute will be forgotten. - Jed
