This is one of many deleterious results of #patents & #intellectualproperty BS.

Ideas are neither scarce (your use of my idea does not prevent me from using it at the same time). So there is no conflict in the use of ideas.

Patents and IP are illegitimate uses of force (state force, unsurprisingly).

Contrary to what its defenders say, IP does not promote innovation, it promotes stagnation.

The result is a virtual monopoly granted by the state. A single, artificially inflated company reaps profits at the expense of everyone else.

I look forward to seeing what competition will bring to #e-ink #tech.
