Why do we give so much financial (monopoly) protection for a bunch of derivative, inconsequential work?
It's been ridiculous for quite some time. That is, if someone steals one of my patents, I would have to sue - there is no Patent Police helping the enforcement of that relatively brief exclusive right. But some music downloader? ...yeah, that industry will have police hall his techno-nerdy ass to jail. Ergo, jingles are more important than solutions.
