According to videogame patent lawyer Kirk Sigmon, the USPTO granting Nintendo these latest patents isn’t just a moment of questionable legal theory. It’s an indictment of American patent law.

“Broadly, I don’t disagree with the many online complaints about these Nintendo patents,” said Sigmon, whose opinions do not represent those of his firm and clients. “They have been an embarrassing failure of the US patent system.”

    Why are you people always so fucking rude when you’re shit is challenged in any way?

    Look at my other comments in this thread if you care to actually understand my position. I never even suggested that people would stop making music.

    I even said that it could maybe work if we weren’t in an ultra capitalist society. But we are, so completely getting rid of the concept of IP is a bad idea.

      I read all you comments. You don’t even have a foundation in any of this. Just a little shit talker who licks the boots of your corporate overlords

      We live in an ultra capitalist society which is perverting art and sciences for money. All the while defended by idiots like you.
