you quoted from wikipedia about patents to argue that my copyright is a monopoly statement.

you were the one who moved off copyright to patent.

I just proved that it was totally wrong two ways

1. by proving that no infringement could occur in a no market situation
2. proving that even when no one wants or even believes that the patent is valid people will licience it to avoid the court cost


if you want to parallel that back to copyright it not that hard

ask all the people who simply paid the settlement cost even though they didn't download anything just because it cost more to fight then to settle.

ie the dead guy who was sent a demand letter because his ip address downloaded copyright material after he was dead. (open wifi in dead guys apartment)
