If you're going to include PJ's bandwidth, you should include FossPatent's
cheques as well.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

How you quantify expenses will determine the cost you see.
As always, your output is determined by your input.
The flaw in this is that you may think your result (cost) is the actual cost - a
little like countries taking GDP to be an expression of their country's status.
Take China, for example. China returns impressive GDP figures but most of that
wealth is tied to infrastructure projects, a large part of which is building
projects normal people can't afford, so these new housing units stand empty
while millions of people live in squalor. Yet, in terms of GDP, China is doing
great - as long as the bubble holds!.
The cost of patent abuse should factor in things like lost opportunities for
garage industries (the way Apple started), environmental (green) costs, and the
impact on the over-all economy of the billion dollar legal legal industry. I
could go on, but you get the picture.
Your simple question of cost is a complex issue with multiple answers, all
contextually and narrowly correct.
So, what was your question again..?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
