Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC)Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC)Posted Jan 12, 2004 1:16 UTC (Mon) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222)Parent article: Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC) So, what it comes down to is this: I can buy some real expensive computer hardware and software (instead of, say, shoes and clothes and food,) and that way I'll be free to share my personally-made music and art with....

We've got lots of various patents. How does anybody ever dare to produce(or even publish, as software patents apply to poster design, websight design and any information related to software internals, even if the methods are implemented directly in hardware) a computer, that does anything different from that of M$'s will? Oh well, lets just hope, that the European commision is not dull or indirectly corrupted enough to legalize software patents. The European Parliament's desicion was certainly a weird positive miricle.
