| schestowitz | > | Nov 16 11:42 |
| schestowitz | > Any help in tackling this argument would be much appreciated! | Nov 16 11:42 |
| schestowitz | Silicon Valley has flourished despite of -- not because of -- software patents. People whom you speak of can be shown several venture capitalists who openly complain about software patents. Some even took activist-type action against US patent laws. In fact, software patents are why they *won't* invest. | Nov 16 11:42 |
| schestowitz | What in my humble opinion motivated growth in Silicon Valley is the influx of bright individuals from all across the world. They didn't come because of patents but because of the quality of universities and a great deal of VC that shrank in more recent years (another bubble). Another factor that played a role in Silicon Valley's growth is the vast market which is the US. They just have a broader reach. | Nov 16 11:42 |
| schestowitz | Ask yourself how many British and French companies can honestly argue that they struggle in the market because the government does not grant them software patents. As Stallman said, it's actually an advantage for them (over US counterparts) to not have the burden, distraction, and cost overhead of software patents. | Nov 16 11:42 |
| schestowitz | So anyway, the correlation here is not causal as a patents booster would wish to make it. Gun crime in the US, for example, is the not the result of having no national healthcare coverage, although one could try to portray it as such. You're up against a bunk argument, and it's trivial to show it. | Nov 16 11:42 |
