Software patents, mp3 in particular...
Authored by: Gringo_ on Monday, May 20 2013 @ 11:42 AM EDT

When was the last time you saw something genuinely attractive on a catwalk?

You mean, beyond the female models themselves? I must admit that I have little appreciation for Haute Culture.

While these fashions may be not be attractive to you and I because we have not developed appreciation for the art form, you cannot dismiss an entire mode of artistic expression with a wave of your hand. I personally don't much care for opera, rap, and many other forms of artistic expression as well. However, I think it would be supremely arrogant of me to flatly state these art forms are worthless. They are very important to many, many people. My opinion is of no importance in the broader perspective.

Your response is nonsense. Clearly the fashion industry as whole has generated billions upon billions of dollars in investments, without the need for copyright.
