ADVERTISEMENTS

For a while, pirates have had counter-culture cool, plus Johnny Depp. Now, that the evils of armed East African piracy have begun receiving attention from the press and the military, I suggest it is time to move away from using the same piracy term to describe patent and copyright infringement.

Perhaps we can have a truce between those who speak of patent trolls and those who speak of patent pirates.
