But I do have a patent, in multiple countries, and have legal advice. How is that suppose to stop people like the op? He clearly didn't bother with any of it, and EFF is on the side of crooks like him.
So I spend all my fortune on R&D, spend another fortune on legal, and the result is that my kids have nothing to eat, because there is always a way when none of it means squat. Whether it's RCA ripping off Farnsworth, who has to fight all his life to protect his invention, or Edison blatantly stealing from Melies by simply changing the titles in his movies and swapping French text for English.
