大家对大神的这篇把软件专利保护和所谓的“idea”防copy批的一塌糊涂怎么看？

iA makes patent threats by Marco Arment
Software patents don’t protect innovation. They destroy it.
Big companies like Google and Apple have defensible reasons to accumulate lots of patents: they need them for defense. This is horrible, dysfunctional, and wasteful, but they at least are justified in arming themselves in the same game that the other big guys are playing: a large portfolio is likely to have something to throw back at any non-troll attackers (who actually produce anything) to help neutralize and settle large suits initiated against them.
But when a small company or independent developer files for a small number of patents, there’s no defensive value — they can only be used for offense.
I see no reason to support any small developers who file for patents.
Fuck iA and their products. I’m glad I never bought iA Writer or iA Writer Pro — now I never will.
保护只是一个手段，如果你有更好的能保证“牛人能拿到足够多的收入“的方法，当然也是可以不保护的。
问题是，有吗？
如果说妨碍了更新，那么我们是不是应该优先保护好牛人的创新条件和热情？：）
我们首先要改善这个世界。然后才是其它。乔布斯是没有别人圆润了，跟他相处是不舒服了，但他带领苹果公司改变了整个世界。至于其它的，也就没那么重要了：）
当然，我也觉得有很多开源项目也很伟大：）我只是觉得，开源项目如果没有办法给参与其中的牛人带来足够多的收入，有点太对不起这些奋斗的牛人们了。
牛人们有没有自嗨，跟开源项目要不要努力解决牛人收入是两个不同的问题哈：）
