Regimes of injustice come and go with the generations that cling to them.
Any victory of the patent movement over our generation is a pyrrhean
victory.  Delegitimisation will bring an even more thourough downfall.
Each pain inflicted by this injustice regime will be accompanied by a
further strenghening of the collective knowledge about the injustice that
has been done to us. And our generation will use its ressources to have
fun playing with the system, making money off it and watching it break,
while people like Melullis, Chisum, Kober and others become more and more
famous as villains of history.
