I'm still upset that my "you can't patent software because of the Curry-Howard isomorphism" legal argument never took off. (Basically, software is equivalent to math, and you can't patent math. Therefore, you can't patent software. QED.)
You don't need empathy when you have a captive market. I'm afraid we're about to enter the "lol fuck you, what're you gonna do, leave?" stage of this organization.
