I was discovering that life just simply isn't fair and bask in the unsung glory of knowing that each obstacle overcome along the way only adds to the satisfaction in the end. Nothing great, after all, was ever accomplished by anyone sulking in his or her misery.

Your comparison is simply RIDICULOUS. The creator of a painting wants me to look at a painting before buying it. The rights owner of a music CD does not want me to download his music and not pay for it. The rights owner of a DVD does not want me to rip him off by pirating his DVDs. I buy a DVD and CD knowing that I may not like what is on it because that is what I agree to when buying the content and all the legal ramification that come with it.
I don't even know where to start with this because you've simply gone off the deep end as far as patents and copyright go. You can not get a patent or distribution rights of an engine because you've modified the performance or fuel level of somebody else's work. Not at all. I'm sorry but to keep arguing this shows you simply have no clue what patents are about.Thats not really what I was talking about.
Lets say I get a mustang and inspect the engine. There are area's to the engine where I could modify its design to increase performance, fuel economy or whatever.
I modify the engine(physically) and am happy with the results. Should I then be able to sell it even though the original design is under my modifications?
Same as above.I know it can't use the original trademark.
What I'm saying is that. I purchase a copy of photoshop and find that there are many features that it is lacking. I reprogram it to include those features and sell it under a different name with my new features adapted to the program.
And again. Software because it is written is included under copyright. A patent is for physical inventions. Please read on this subject? You're making yourself look ridiculous.Software is also an invention. It is a virtual non physical invention. Just because a program is in written form doesn't mean it isn't mechanical in design.
With GM plants they reprogram the original plant to produce a new desired result. It is biological software.
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion. Through Passion I gain Strength. Through Strength I gain Power. Through Power I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me.
The music industry is getting wise to what is best for marketing. They allow you to hear the music before you buy it.
I have no problems with them.
With movies if I don't like it after I buy it I can not return it or get my money back.
The movie industry wants to have it both ways.
I am talking about a real physical modification. Not tuning the engine.
I talking about physically changing part of the structure of the engine.
That is completely retarded. So if I build a machine with letters printed all over it I should then be able to copyright it?
Software is a virtual machine its function are completely identical to a machine except that it is in a virtual world.

I'd suggest taking your own advice Hatuey.A patent is for physical inventions. Please read on this subject? You're making yourself look ridiculous.
Business method patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was simple question no need for your infantile personal attacks. It was simply an impression I got from your post and I asked you a question.
I know it is put on the CD. This however is a legal argument not a normative one.When you purchase a CD with content in it. You do not purchase the distribution rights to the content within that CD. The only thing you are purchasing(other then the content) is the right to use that CD for the usage intended by the creator. This is made CLEAR from the moment you buy a DVD, Music CD, Software etc in many different ways from labels on the media to inside labels(black labels on that pop up when you start a DVD).
I'm willing to endorse limited intellectual property rights, particularly copyrights for the present but I do note how they contravene common law principles of property and are a state fiat grant of monopoly. They also encourage consolidation and centralised in industry which is rarely a good thing in my book.

Business method patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Business method patents are a class of patents which disclose and claim new methods of doing business. This includes new types of e-commerce, insurance, banking, tax compliance etc. Business method patents are a relatively new species of patent and there have been several reviews investigating the appropriateness of patenting business methods.[1] Nonetheless, they have become important assets for both independent inventors and major corporations.[2]Create a new type of engine. It can be patented anywhere in the world. Create a new business method and it depends where you are. My statement stands.Whether a business method is regarded as patentable subject matter depends on the legal jurisdiction. The World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) does not specifically address business method patents.

I really hate it when somebody steals my aesthetic. I hate it even more when somebody uses an image I created without permission even more. The first should be legal the second should not.
