But, Hank, like the prosecutor and like many, many other intelligent people, are rushing to find property somewhere in cyberspace. That is what everyone's instinct is. In reality, what Aaron was saying was, don't let the guy with the tools claim ownership to everything we use the tools for.

G the things that are printed come with a royalty due. It's what the license fee is intended to cover. Patent attorneys must cite copies of prior art to th USPTO. There has been major copyright battles over our copying things off the internet and sending them to the PTO. The original owner is owed money. It's not much per copy (a penny?). It is a lot per year for a firm.
