Resumen: A la luz de la evolución preocupante de un impuesto sobre Android y IOS dispositivos, la relación de Francia con Microsoft se compara con la de Microsoft y el gobierno de Estados Unidos.

François Fillon[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Fillon], Primer Ministro de Francia, acaba de decir algo indignante que ayuda a confirmar que la influencia de Microsoft está generalizada en el gobierno francés. Una traducción automática de este artículo[http://www.framablog.org/index.php/post/2011/01/29/fillon-microsoft] dice que "según François Fillon, Microsoft es el futuro de la economía mundial" (título) y:



No sólo Microsoft "Representa el futuro de la economía mundial", sino también que Microsoft "simboliza muchas de las prioridades de la política económica del Gobierno"!


Recordemos el Sarko papel en el escándalo de OOXML (y otros)[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Nicolas_Sarkozy] y, más recientemente, el impuesto sobre Android[http://techrights.org/2011/01/12/french-android-tax/] que sale de Windows en el claro. €¿Esta Nicolas Sarkozy, tomando algunas instrucciones directas de Bill Gates? En general, las patentes y de patentes impuestos (o en este imposición de derechos de autor caso) se adapte a Microsoft muy bien y dado todo lo que la Fundación Gates[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Gates_Foundation_Critique] y el Gates|Abramoff lobbyism[http://techrights.org/2008/12/22/microsoft-gates-abramoff-connection/] (Gates también está financiando la más grande del mundo troll de patentes), este es el tipo de ambiente creado y conservado por aquellos a quienes el sistema está a la venta. La Fundación Gates también está pagando millones a NPR ahora, con el fin de servir mejor a su programa. Como el Dr. Gene Nelson se puso ayer en un correo electrónico enviado a su servidor, "desde que Gates se convirtió en un importante donante NPR, ellos no cubren la historia de las Visa H-1B no más. Fui entrevistado en dos ocasiones en los artículos que aparecieron en la crítica de H-1B antes de que Gates se haga cargo de la NPR."

Microsoft es también uno de los grupos de presión importantes de patentes, junto con la Fundación Gates, que financia las patentes y hace que los contribuyentes pagan por patentes que no sirven al público. El Presidente de los EE.UU. también - después de haber pasado demasiado tiempo con los ultra-ricos de la nación[http://techrights.org/2011/01/14/gates-buffett-politicas/] - se hace eco de sus puntos, habla de los monopolios de patentes. Críticos de hacer una sugerencia a Obama en materia de patentes[http://techrights.org/2011/01/28/uspto-prominently-broken/], pero escuchará?

Matt Yglesias ensarta limpiamente al Estado de la Unión de Obama en su alusión autocomplaciente de nuestras patentes: "Ningún país tiene empresas de más éxito, o si concede más patentes a los inventores y empresarios."


He aquí un nuevo ejemplo[http://www.medindia.net/news/US-Stem-Cell-Research-is-Being-Hindered-by-Rush-for-Patents-79959-1.htm] en las patentes pueden estar costando vidas. Es como los carteles RPX[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/RPX] que ayudan a defender sólo las familias ricas y las grandes empresas, mientras que los pequeños son en su mayoría incapaces de ponerse al día y aquí es la defensa de un abogado de patentes de la misma[http://gametimeip.com/2011/01/31/why-is-rpx-going-public-ask-willie-sutton/]:

La semana pasada, aprendimos que RPX Corporation (que significa Intercambio "Racional" de Patentes) pronto tendrán una oferta pública inicial, que ofrece hasta $ 100 M de acciones al público. Mucho se ha escrito por bloggers y periodistas, en referencia a RPX como Adquirente Defensivo de Patentes , Agregador defensivo, y de Patente Risk Manager. Otros explican que RPX va a aprovecharse de "arreglar el lío de patentes." La descripción no es más desconcertante que la denominación de "Troll Aseguradora de Patentes ." Maureen O'Gara RPX escribe que es "aparentemente haciendo riqueza por la venta de seguros troll." Techrights tiene una opinión diferente, que describe la organización como un cartel.


La naturaleza de la misma es similar a eso. Para citar una definición de "cártel[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel]", que es "un formal (explícito) el acuerdo entre empresas competidoras." El acuerdo está hecho de tal manera que sólo aquellos con una gran cantidad de patentes y un montón de dinero en efectivo se permiten en el club a fin de que - a diferencia de otros - se les permite competir en el mercado. RPX es sólo parte de un problema más amplio en este caso. La raíz del problema es el sistema de patentes, que está diseñado para reforzar el monopolio en lugar de recompensar la innovación. Barnier se compromete a globalizar este problema [1[http://techrights.org/2009/12/18/eu-commission-for-michel-barnier/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/10/28/community-patent-and-barnier/], 3[http://techrights.org/2010/11/06/eu-system-unified-wrt-uspto/], 4[http://techrights.org/2010/12/13/excluding-italy-for-swpats/]].
