***Exactly. You come from a different world. This is the business world, not the realm of scientists.
Um... because, in your world, the science realm and the business realm never intersect? How odd. Yet, I'm pretty sure that even in your bizarre alternate universe, where science and business are completely separate from each other, laws still govern intellectual property rights. I know they do here in the real world, where science and business have huge areas of overlap.
If the two worlds overlapped so much, there would not be such a discrepancy.
