Yup.

There is a slight difference however. You and I can use linux without getting noticed, unlike
driving a car when they were rare.

This is a business cycle. Create and market product. Build marketshare. Lose portion of
marketshare due to incompetence. Tranfer Legal department to Marketing. Lose rest of market
share. Go out of business, or be bought up.

This narrow focus on Intellectual Property stuff will pass when with a few prominent
bankruptcies. Intellectual Property has no value unless someone wants to buy it.
