[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1009021"] As a former software "inventor" and engineer I feel very qualified to have an opinion. As happens when someone protects their intellectual property the looser is the end user when the licensing fees exceed the market ability to absorb them. There is no profit in excessive licensing fees because there is no one to pay them. TV was invented long before we got it. The inventor died a pauper as the industry could not absorb the costs so they waited. This scenario is repeated over and over and over. The WSM may come back when the patent expires or not. I hope to live long enough to see what comes of it. [/QUOTE]
