James, how about we explore non-legal recourses first? I've suggested proof of prior art and reputation damage, any other ideas? Maybe steganography for art/video assets?
Maybe we just follow the cryptocurrency style. Open source. Free to use. For everyone!
Usage is fine. Stealing outright is not.
Things like clients should be open source and free to use for everyone. Things like web services shouldn't be open source.. Look at all the BTC and LTC clones. Everyone uses the same client/wallet. And it wasn't created by satoshi. Did it harm BTC or LTC? No..
+1. No matter what we we do, we should avoid to make Nxt a corporation. There is no Nxt entity, only open source individual's works and contribution. Between corporation and theft, I rather choose theft.
I certainly never advocated a corporation???
Just trying to prevent thieves
Seems like there are clever non-legal solutions. Maybe a non-legal non-binding statement a developer can put into the software? That way the spirit can be preserved without going all legal.
