If no patents or copyrights existed everyone would sit in the fields and pick pansies all day. Geez... what's WRONG with you? Why don't you GET it?!!
Beware that mathematics, physics, etc have been working without patents, without "everyone would sit in the fields and pick pansies all day". Companies, student groups, teacher groups and bright individuals have been developing them, but mainly universities and research institutions, supported by government funds. Without threats of patent trials.
Also, not everyone is lazy. For example, software translators working for helping other people show us that.

No, Thom. Get it straight. If no patents or copyrights existed everyone would sit in the fields and pick pansies all day. Geez... what's WRONG with you? Why don't you GET it?!!
