Why are there no "intellectual property rights" on engineering drawings (like software engineering) and therefore on the products made from them like cars and machinery and tractors (or application programs)?
Using the same "intellectual property rights" arguments then we couldn't re-sell our used vehicles or even drill holes in them to mount accessories to. Doesn't it cost millions and millions of dollars to design and re-engineer new cars every year?
Maybe this is more about power. Power corrupts so maybe the people who run the software companies are just using whatever excuse they can get away with to weld some arbitrary power over others.
Shouldn't somebody be paying royalties to whoever "created" the car whenever one is sold? Or maybe we should be paying the "bootleg" taxes (like on blank DVD's or CD's) on machinery in case we use it to make a copy of something?
