Can a
person steal information in a
violent manner in the way a legendary
pirate could be
proud of?
Those who
apply for
patents in hopes of
cornering the market by taking
technology and
tools based on
information or an
idea from
anyone else. The
patent may seem
novel if
spiced with
buzzwords and
jargon, but it usually
squeaks past the
patent office.
Monopolies are examples of information
pirates that use this form of
government protection.
