	Copyright law was designed to protect authors back when the printing
press was putting several people who hand-copied books out of business. It was
intended as a sort of fix that would be abolished soon after when the printing
press became wide spread..that was at least a couple hundred years ago.

	Patent law was designed to protect inventions, not ideas, for a short
time to protect the small business and it's ideas from corporations. Evidently,
that has also totally lost it's meaning since the patent law required it to
be a non-obvious idea, independently developed without prior art, with no
previous equivalent work, and it was always expressed as the context of a
device of sorts. Mathematical equations and ideas didn't count..there had to be
a tangible invention.

	And that leaves us with today. Patent law is still a good idea in
certain contexts; however, the costs have completely eliminated the small
business it was meant to protect and a whole bunch of criminals have undermined
it's rather narrow field of view to some how encompass ideas as long as they
are expressed as computer algorithms.

	With sincere answers, is there anyone today who can come up with one
good reason why both patent and copyright laws should not be thrown out?
Copyright and patent laws are now the swords they were once meant to shield
us from.
