By "copying (stealing) the finished idea is much easier" I don't mean copying (duplicating) files to sell for profit. We don't need patent protection for that. Copyright suffices. If you understand the points I make below, I'd like to hear your reactions. Thank you.
Patents make sense only when R&D is very expensive/difficult and copying (stealing) the finished idea is much easier. So software patents make almost no sense.

You can see this by looking at the software patents issued by the USPTO. At least 99.9% of them have nothing new or unobvious in them. Here's my question. Is it different in other fields (arts)? That is, in other fields, do you ever read a published patent and think: "This is a great idea. I see that such a great idea could have come only from expensive/difficult R&D." This never happens when you read a software patent, but I can imagine that this might happen with R&D of new drugs, for example.

You are wrong. Software patent protection is great idea. Reverse engineering tools so popular on the net, made software businesses to move from copyright protection to patent protection. You can reverse engineer my software, modify it and compile again, trying to pass around my copyrights, but patent protection is still in force. Jack John Riley wrote:

Go ahead Jack, just like everything else you "think" you know, my ISP will do nothing, they have no power to do anything about me telling the world you are a danger to inventing, that your delusional, that you claim to be something your not. Making responses like you just did does not take away the fact your trying to be something your not,, In most cases I could care less if someone on the internet does this, but in your case your tying to influence new inventors, that your an expert and they should follow your advice. One of the reasons we have so many "failed" inventors "like you" is they follow the wrong advice. You said no one can get around your "Patent Protection", Jack, you have no patent protection, and I do think, claiming you do is a crime ?????? (one of you legal eagles answer that, as I'm not a lawyer, and don't pretend to know the law like Jack does) At least it is if it is on a product, and no patent protection exist Jack you claim to have all these great programs (inventions) you have writen over the years, yet no one has ever seen them. Jack you claim to have invented 20 things (which you may or may not have) who gives a rats Arse, this does not mean your good at inventing, it does not mean you know what your doing, it does not mean you have the right to advise others on how they should invent to succeed, as you personally don't have a clue how to do it. Jack I have read every post you have made over the last month (that's as long as you have been on "these" Usenet groups) yet you claim to have been on the internet for ever, and inventing for ever, why have you waited this long to come to these groups ? Again something does not add up Jack From the start you wanted to teach members of alt inventors from your eclases, on how to write additional patent claims, to existing patents and applications of other inventors, Yet Jack you have never had any of your claims that you have writen get passed by a patent examiner. Seams to me you didn't, and don't know what you were going to "charge" people for. Your not qualified to do such teaching, yet you were going to Take members money. This is a SCAM Jack. As far as I'm concerned you tried to defraud people out of their money, but I caught you, and warned all the members that you were conning them, that you didn't have a clue about what you were going to charge them to teach them. Then Jack you realized you didn't know anything, and now you have been trying to learn it all QUICK, so you can charge others for the knowledge, you pick up, at least know enough to bluff your way through. Jack, I still laugh at the statement you made that all patent pending inventions were valuable, and even valuable to the consumer, that they would pay more for a patent pending product, or go out of their way to buy a patent pending product over a non patented product. How could ANYONE BE THIS STUPID ??????????????????????? The problem was you were inferring to all new inventors that all patents and patent pending inventions were valuable, thus they should patent all their inventions. (yet you have never patented a single one, or made any money from your inventions) I'm sure by now, you have realized that your statement was a total falsehood, yet you never admitted that fact to the group. Your dangerous Jack, you will cost new inventors a lot of money, and time, if we just let you say what you want to, and not tell people the truth. So Jack I would advise, you read these groups, and not post anything but questions, let the REAL experts answer them, and then accept those answers,, well that is if any of the experts still read any post from you,, Most of them don't any more. Jack you can not learn this business in a month or two, or even a year or two, it takes years to learn this business, and be able to repeat successful invention deals and licensing. Oh yeah What's that patent number ???????????????? Where on Ebay is your invention on auction, you said the min has not been reached yet, that means it is on their site,, please post the web address for that auction Jack,, if you don't then what,,, you were lying AGAIN ??????????????????????????? -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Straight Up Hooks , Straight Up Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com

Jack, I fully concur with Rodney. Having just have my hard drive on my laptop fail and replaced it, I had not transferred my kill-file to the new drive, so have for the past week or so been able to see your posts again. The questions asked by Rodney, myself and many others have nothing to do with paranoia. They have to do with wanting proof of someones claims. Most of this asked for proof does not involve you divulging any commercially sensitive information. Remeber, respect is something that must be earned, and the onus is therefore on you to prove that you can do what you constantly say you can in order to earn that respect. Remember too that invention is more than just having ideas. I have ideas by the thousands, but that does not make them inventions unless I design, in detail, how that idea will become a reality, and prove (at the very least to myself) that it works, usually through building a prototpye. Even that does not in the least guarantee that it will be a successful invention (and by successfull, I meant profitable). I would ask that you also not bother replying to this e-mail, unless it is with some answers to the many questions asked of you. Here are some of the questions again: Give one single patent number of yours. You claim to have several of them yet time and time again refuse to give out the numbers. This is the number one question. If you cannot answer this one, then do not bother with the others, unless you first retract your claim of having patented inventions. Why do you still change your reply addresses to alt.test? You claim to have working software and algorythms yet it cannot be tested or even it's features viewed anywhere. This includes you not even having the ability to put together a basic website to advertise your inventions. It also brings into question your constant claims of your mail box being full of viruses when that particular virus scare has now been over for several weeks. Why do you still splice bits of newsgroups threads into completely new threads to give the impression that people have an interest in something they do not? Yet, why do you scream blue murder when someone does exactly the same to you? What is your full name? Most people here have no hesitation in using their real and complete names as they are not embarrassed by what they do. Can you prove ANY of the many other claims you make? I understand that English is not your first language, but do you undertsand what the word 'SARCASM' means, and do you have the ability to detect it in converations? Looking forward to some answers.

JAck, by you answering all these questions, in this manor, completely confirms, that your "pretending to be an expert", hell man you can pretend to be anything you want to be, it's just that we can't let you advise others, as an expert. People get enough bad advice in this business, that cost them dearly. So from now on all your post will receive a disclaimer reply, I have wasted enough of my time with you, I will do a auto response template that will follow every one of your post, warning people, that your advice (even if in the rare case it might be good ,as you would have stolen it from someone else's experience) is not worth the time to read. Of course this will be for the new inventors who join these groups, and the search engines, that will show your news group post. You are of course free to post anything you like, but I am free to rebut those postings with this warning. Jack, has been giving very bad advise to inventors in the past, that could have cost them dearly if followed. Jack has refused to prove that he is an expert in the field in inventing, or any field, from all we can gather from his post, he is far from being an expert, instead he is delusional. All advice that he post should be thoroughly checked out by other sources before following it. If you correspond with Jack, you are doing it at your own risk, and if you ever pay Jack for any services he offers, you will likely be throwing your money away, based on what he has shown in these news groups, This is the consensus of many of the expert members of these news groups, based in it's entirety on the fact of him refusing to prove he knows this business, and him giving advice that has been known to be improper for success. If JAck can prove this not to be the case, a retraction from me will be posted. I am basing this on many years of inventing experience of my own, and is just my qualified opinion -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Straight Up Hooks , Straight Up Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com
