The Internet should have been patented...
A good link looking at the shear inanity and stupidity about a very REAL subject. This of course walking closely hand-in-hand with many intellectual property abuses.
Full article, also with the link to the video for the conference. Someone else should grab the video and try to throw it up on the good'ol Sifty. Slashdot also has coverage using the same article and video I linked to.
I think this is one of the worst ideas I've ever seen come along; spanning more than a decade from today to the back-in-time batshiat crazy world we live(d) in--circa the second Bush term. It's almost as though everyone is trying to trump anyone elses insanity & inanity with upgrades to Cuthulhu & a Blabk Hole, likewise.

If it was patented - it would probably be something like what AOL was in the mid-90s. ie. Shitty.

licensingmodel, in which the burden for the innovation of the world wide web had been shared across the whole user community in a very fair and reasonable manner,withwithout a modest contribution for everyone for this wonderful innovation, it would have enabled enormous investment in turn in further basic research."Well that wasn't too hard.
