If you go looking for people from wealthy backgrounds you'll find them, although you actually failed even at that, but they aren't the only kind. As another example Zuckerberg and Saverin founded TheFacebook.com with $2,000 scraped together while they were students. Google was also founded out of a garage.
Anyway, what's wrong with people with money using it productively to found successful companies, and employ people and provide valuable services? Surely that's a good thing? It seems to have worked well for China over the last 30 years, certainly compared to the previous 30.
Anyway, beyond software patents and copyright terms do you content that IP protections in general are a mistake? How do you see an alternative system working?
