Same thing happened during Charles Dicken's day.
That is why he wrote "Bleak
House"
Bleak House Quotes:
"It is a melancholy truth that even
great men have their
poor relations".
"The one great principle of the
English law is to make
business for itself. There is no other principle
distinctly,
certainly, and consistently maintained through all its
narrow
turnings".
"Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit
has,
in course of time, become so complicated that no man
alive knows what it means.
The parties to it understand it
least, but it has been observed that no two
Chancery lawyers
can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total
disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children
have been born into
the cause; innumerable young people have
married into it; innumerable old
people have died out of it.
Scores of persons have deliriously found themselves
made
parties in Jarndyce and Jarndyce without knowing how or why;
whole
families have inherited legendary hatreds with the
suit. The little plaintiff
or defendant who was promised a
new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce
should be
settled has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and
trotted
away into the other world. Fair wards of court have
faded into mothers and
grandmothers; a long procession of
Chancellors has come in and gone out; the
legion of bills in
the suit have been transformed into mere bills of mortality;
there are not three Jarndyces left upon the earth perhaps
since old Tom
Jarndyce in despair blew his brains out at a
coffee-house in Chancery Lane; but
Jarndyce and Jarndyce
still drags its dreary length before the court,
perennially
hopeless".
"This is the Court of Chancery, which has its
decaying
houses and its blighted lands in every shire, which has its
worn-out
lunatic in every madhouse and its dead in every
churchyard, which has its
ruined suitor with his slipshod
heels and threadbare dress borrowing and
begging through the
round of every man's acquaintance, which gives to monied
might the means abundantly of wearying out the right, which
so exhausts
finances, patience, courage, hope, so overthrows
the brain and breaks the
heart, that there is not an
honourable man among its practitioners who would
not give--
who does not often give--the warning, "Suffer any wrong that
can be
done you rather than come here!"
These patent cases go around in
circles avoiding the truth,
same as the case in Dicken's Bleak House. The
writings of
Dickens exposed and educated the people of the failings of
the
court, and in time, the court was forced to change, as
it was seen as
corrupt.
Is the current patent cases, continuing with no end in
sight, a
sign of the same corruption? When will the honest
in the system wake up and
seek to correct the continuing
wrong?
As, when, will the world's legal
systems come to grips with
the reality about the MYTH in the middle, about
computing
and expose the truth, that it is just
MATH?
Where it is all
obvious (MATH),
and all that is binary (MATH), and all the the binary logic
(MATH) is as old as the hills
themselves...! Where it is exposed that only
the chips, or
the hardware, are the only thing in modern day that is
truly
new. Designed, only to make, it all happen faster -
so fast it almost seems
like magic (so, those who don't see
the trick are
fooled into thinking, it to
be, what it is not).
IT IS JUST MATH, period.
It is also obvious,
in every way.
But, there is no money in that case. Nope, no billable
hours, just the understanding that it is, what it is.
