RACING BY THE RULES
You've just spent three years and your life savings designing the hottest racing machine on four wheels. You're looking forward to making and selling lots of them—not just for profit but to make enough money so you can start over and design an even better car. But as soon as you start selling your cars, you leam that somebody already took one apart, quickly drew up some blueprints, and is giving away your secrets so others can build your awesome car by themselves. In response, you have to raise the price of your cars to make up for the people who are getting them free.
Patents make the above scenario illegal. The story is the same with software, except it's a Copyright that makes copying software without permission a violation of federal law. And when you copy Indianapolis 500 illegally, you raise the cost to the people who legally buy the software. Indianapolis 500 was produced through the efforts of many people: designers, artists, programmers, and other dedicated workers, who need the money from selling software to create more software.
