Regarding copyright law in the USA I think one has to officially claim copyright of a published item. If you have something of value that you want to protect online, then you had better claim copyright for it if you uniquely are offering something that can be copyrighted, i.e. pictures, designs, etc.Samba said:I don't see anything saying ES has any copyrights here - seems they want the opposite, to provide a forum but not have any responsibility (hence no ownership) for anything posted. So the individual posters are publishing and have copy rights. If someone posts a CAD, circuit design, picture or such you would need their permission before using it commercially.
True invention with the added expense of patents should be totally respected, imho. Where does money come from? Follow the money...
Inventors, not bankers, not corporations, not universities, should be 'that person' that created the idea & proved its invention by patent ...should be the one to derive the main financial benefit for a period of time. Then, society, the banks, the corporations, the universities, can also benefit of its free license & use without royalties to the inventor.
Well, otherwise, please explain a better way that can & will work... besides making inventors slaves to bankers, governments, military, corporations, etc............ I'd rather protect the gifted & unique individuals that advance mankind for the better...
Bankers, governments, military, corporations, all have their own agendas that are more suspect in my mind vs a great inventor & his inventions...
