Cheating is a way to win. says cheaters.

Except that it's not cheating? It's the system functioning as designed. The real issue is what patents are applied to, the length of time given, and the ability to renew them if you iterated on it slightly. If Corps like Disney hadn't lobbied and litigated to push through changes to copyright and patent laws the world would be a much different place. So much is locked up behind laws designed to harvest wealth that creativity and innovation are stunted.

Here's a great video on a 3D printing patent troll issue.
